Connecticut State N.A.A.C.P. N.A.A.C.P.
N.A.A.C.P. officials said that they were trying to intercede in a lawsuit over the No Child Left Behind Law on the side of the Bush administration and against the State of Connecticut because of a core principle that states do not have the right to ignore federal legislation that aims to help minorities. The judge did not address the N.A.A.C.P.'s motions and at the same time, N.A.A.C.P. representatives held a news conference outside the courthouse announcing the organization's decision to intercede. The N.A.A.C.P. said in its filing that Connecticut is failing its most disempowered children, and included three minority students in the motion to intervene.
