Bush was praising No Child Left Behind this week, so it’s time to point out one little accomplishment of that – sex for degrees:

The student, from San Diego, California, USA, insisted she was not demeaning herself and had been persuaded to offer herself to the highest bidder after her sister Avia, 23, successfully raised money for her own degree after working as a prostitute for three weeks.

Miss Dylan, who has a degree in Women’s Studies, said one bid for her virginity came from a zookeeper who offered her a live tiger in exchange for her virginity. She did not elaborate on where the zookeeper worked or how the man might fulfil his promise.

Perhaps Bush should leave us with a new slogan for NCLB – penetration for an education.
