bush_red.jpgPresident Bush may have ushered in No Child Left Behind, but according to some Democrats, his budget has left and continues to leave Latinos behind.

New Jersey Democratic Senator Robert Menéndez presented a study that analyzed the impact of the national budget on programs for Latinos from 2001 on. When Bush came into office in 2001, he addressed a group of Latinos and stated that their education and health would be a priority of his administration. Menendez points to the fact that Bush eliminated literacy programs for “minority” children and higher education scholarships,both which are utilized by a large number of Latinos in the country as examples of Bush making empty promises.

Seems like Latinos have more than one reason to give Bush the finger.
