Notes For Tuesday, November 18, 2003

YOU GO, JIM - U.S. Rep. Jim Davis said Monday he will introduce legislation to cut federal funding for states that don't require students to take history or government classes as a graduation requirement.

Davis said he's troubled that Florida allows high school students to graduate in three years without taking those courses. Gov. Jeb Bush and the Florida Legislature approved the fast-track graduation plan this year to help deal with overcrowded classrooms.
