Kennedy urges more money for education

Associated Press

WASHINGTON - Sen. Edward Kennedy, in a back-to-school challenge to Republicans, used the Democratic Party's radio address Saturday to lobby for more federal money for education.

"We need our Republican colleagues to join us in giving education the high priority that it deserves at the national level," said Kennedy, the senior Democrat on the Senate committee that oversees education.

"The stakes are too high for us to allow political gamesmanship to get in the way," the Massachusetts senator said. "No less than our national security and competitive standing in the world are at risk."

Kennedy accused the Bush administration and Republican leaders in Congress of shortchanging the sweeping No Child Left Behind Act, a law he helped pass in 2001. Democrats, he said, want more money for teacher training, small class sizes, early childhood education and college aid.
