LOL - I know the NRA is a powerful gun lobby. I had no clue that they were involved in education.

Just poking fun.

While you do have a point about the NEA, they are not more powerful than school boards. While it may not be possible to get every school board, there will be fly over country boards that will be easy to convert over. Get enough of these and then the budget point becomes, why are we spending so much on common core when there is “XYZ” available for less or free?

Budget battles and parents who elect board members tend to be very active and educated in fly over country and that represents anywhere from 1/3 to 1/2 of the total school population. Over time this will crate even more push back against common core.
