During Gov Matt Mead's testimony for the 'No Child Left Behind and Flexibility and Improvements Act", Sen Bingaman (D-NM) challenged the request for more federal funds but less federal oversight. This quickly turned into an ideological debate, preventing bipartisan cooperation from taking place.
Shortly after this argument, Sen Franken (D-MN) also challenged Mead's testimony. While discussing the failing schools,he asked Gov Mead, "[Should we] take away their funding and kick them while they're down?"
Despite the flaring tempers during the hearing, both parties posed for a photo during a brief recess.
