I got to be honest with you, I am not in favor of the No Child Left Behind Act. We are spending millions and millions of dollars educating children that have a hard time making their wheelchair move and, I’m sorry, but you’ve got to say, ‘no’ somewhere.

It's not NCLB that gives disabled children the right to an education. It's the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). It's been around since the '70s.
