WHAT'S BEHIND THE WHALLEY AMENDMENT
n 2003 Mike Whalley repudiated the Claremont decisions by voting for "A RESOLUTION declaring the directives of the judicial branch in the Claremont cases that the legislative and executive branches define an "adequate education," adopt "standards of accountability," and "guarantee adequate funding" of a public education are not binding on the legislative and executive branches."

Now Whalley is pushing an amendment that contains language nearly identical to that contained in the Lynch amendment, which Senator Peter Burling has praised as an affirmation of Claremont.
Which raises the question -- was Whalley pandering then, or is he pandering now
