He had a Dem Congress in the beginning right? Yes, you’re right, but from my understand “No Child” was underfunded so it could never go anywhere.

Actually Republicans controlled both houses, and Cheney held the tie vote in the Senate. So it was intentional bipartisanship—the Bush was criticized for back in the day—that passed that legislation. You probably also forget that Republican orthodoxy before GWB was that eduction issues belonged to the states. Bush conceded this critical point in passing no child left behind.
