Edu Sec Spellings to Consider Federally Mandated Spanking

There are only about 1,500 US schools out of 100,000 that are in a chronic state of underperformance. But what should be done?

Colbert gets Spellings to think about a good old fashioned spanking - but questions the effectiveness of sanctions under NCLB.

"Hasn't the Bush administration shown us that sanctions don't work. It's much better just to bomb these schools and then occupy them."

Nice.
