Why, of course, it should be called the LEARN Act.
Then, someone intern can figure out education-related words with the right first letters. Just as with the USA-PATRIOT Act

Is it just me, or was the name "No Child Left Behind" a little exercise in dog whistle politics? A reference to the "Left Behind" series?

Children First is taken -- it's the name of the reform program here in New York. But I think the exclamation point in your suggestion gives it a new vigor that's appropriate for the national scale.
