In an election year, it’s nice to see a congressman actually doing something worthwhile, rather than trying to earn a cabinet spot during the next president’s tenure…
Senator Chuck Grassley has asked the U.S. Secretary of Education, Margaret Spellings, to revisit a departmental proposal that would direct designated funding for gifted and talented kids to other areas that are not part of the intended purpose of the Javits Act.

I hope more members of congress listen to their constituents and follow Sen. Grassley’s lead in supporting funding for Gifted and Talented students.
