I don't understand why y'all don't get that Common Core is not a Federal Law. The Federal government has nothing to do with Common Core. From the myths vs facts on Common Core's website: Myth: The standards will be implemented through No Child Left Behind (NCLB), signifying that the federal government will be leading them. Fact: The Common Core is a state‐led effort that is not part of No Child Left Behind or any other federal initiative. The federal government played no role in the development of the Common Core. State adoption of the standards is in no way mandatory. States began the work to create clear, consistent standards before the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which provided funding for the Race to the Top grant program. It also began before the Elementary and Secondary Education Act blueprint was released, because this work is being driven by the needs of the states, not the federal government. Learn more about the development process here. http://www.corestandards.org/about-the-standards/myths-vs-facts/

Sounds like one of these weasely moves liberals, and others of a similar mind, like to do. Back something 100% politically, but when it comes to pen on paper, work something out with the weasely lawyers and so when everything goes to the dogs they can go full weasel and
say “It wasn’t us!”

Probably came straight out of Alinsky’s famous book, “Rules for Weasels.”
