	School districts under attack
		YOU KNOW there is something amiss when a school district, which has higher academic test scores than all but 15 of the state's 1,056 school districts, is told that it is failing because it hasn't met all the bureaucratic requirements of the federal No Child Left Behind legislation.
		Compounding the absurdity is that if this school district doesn't continue to satisfy myriad requirements of the law by the 2006-2007 school year, then it could be abolished under a little-noticed section of the controversial legislation that is pitting state educators against federal regulators.
		Under state law, nearly 1,300 schools have been designated as "underperforming schools," which are "in need of immediate intervention" and face a range of sanctions if they don't meet yearly improvement goals.

		When fifth grade history teacher Steve Williams sued the Cupertino Union School District on November 22, his grievances placed in controversy his duty to truthfully teach the origins of American democ—racy, including its ideological foundations.
		In spite of the school district's overabundant exercise of caution, no California court has specifically addressed whether public school teachers run afoul of the Establishment Clause or California's No Preference Clause by teaching the religious and ideological basis of the American Revolution.
