Abstract	The intent of this article is to explore how No Child Left Behind (NCLB) emerges from a discursive frame that is also used in relation to neoliberal corporate conquests and, significantly, America's war on terror. The article first demonstrates through reference to online resistance discourses and NCLB, how NCLB is a product of and reproduces the authoritarian neoconservative economic discourse signaled previously. This discourse, which tied to neoliberal agendas, represents the most recent expression of modernity's desire to eradicate ambivalence or difference. The article then accounts for how, despite the power of NCLB and its neoconservative war-like rhetoric to impose a regime of discipline and control, resistance to NCLB deploys the tactic of mimicry, which exploits representational ambivalence to challenge this power.
