President Bush signed this into law and (under) funds it? Why do Conservatives support this President if he is doing something the founders supposedly didn't want, Federal Government intervention in Education?

I don't support the President on this issue. I am a conservative. The federal government should not be involved in education at any level.
The budget for the Department of Education is in the billions. Not one person in the entire bureaucracy is teaching anything to anyone. The entire department should be eliminated.

Understand the NCLB is NOT about education. If we test them to death there is less time to help students develop critical thinking skills. This is something that authoritarian Republicans would seek to avoid. Also it is an unfunded mandate.
I hope we can get rid of it someday.
Hate to see Margaret Spellings get another job in goverment.

Most people in the government stopped caring what the founding fathers wanted a long time ago.

Because the Liberals programs in place apparently were not teaching the kids. They were graduating and couldn't even spell or write their own name, let alone read. There had to be some guidelines and minimums put in place other than just pushing them through system and a teachers strike every damn start to ever school year.

Nobody should have signed it.
