::One of the [http://www.syntheticphonics.com/articles/Sound%20Sense.pdf external links] from the [[Phonics]] page is to an interesting article which states: "In many [British] teachers minds, phonics equals right-wing, traditional, drill and skill, boring, anti-child-centred Gradgrind education. Over in the United States, phonics is portrayed as being closely aligned to the Christian fundamentalist right. The No child left behind act mandated phonics. Hell, Dubya loves phonics, so it follows that all right-minded progressive folks need to be against them."
