According to a recent Education Week post (and a Public Education
Network poll), the opposition to No Child Left Behind isn't coming
from minorities but from the white community. More people in the
African American community think No Child Left Behind is helping them
(41 percent) than those that think it is hurting them (21 percent).
More people in the Hispanic community, also, think it is helping them
(39 percent) than those that think it is hurting them (23 percent).

So, if the claim is that No Child Left Behind is not fair to
minorities and diverse groups, it would seem that those groups would
disagree (almost 2 to 1) with that claim.
