Rats. I forgot to put (ObamaCore) in the title. This association needs to be encouraged. Possible to still add it?

Why are states NOT dropping Common Core?

[null and void]

If a foreign power imposed Common Core on our children, we would regard it as an act of war.

Dropping? How the hell did it ever get started? (No answer required)

Wish we were getting rid of it here in Georgia. Unfortunately, Republican voters here just re-nominated the same Republican who stuck us with Common Core to begin with. And these same Republican voters defeated the one State School Superintendent candidate who vowed to trash it. We suffer from our own low-info voter problems. And the state GOP loves it.

Excellent article! Too bad it had to be excerpted. Go read it.

Statement from Fallin:

“Unfortunately, federal overreach has tainted Common Core. President Obama and Washington bureaucrats have usurped Common Core in an attempt to influence state education standards. The results are predictable. What should have been a bipartisan policy is now widely regarded as the president’s plan to establish federal control of curricula, testing and teaching strategies.”

IMHO the first word should have been Fortunately.

President Obama and Washington bureaucrats are doing exactly what they planned with Common Core... more take over.

They control your healthcare. With the EPA running wild, they will soon control your indoor temperature. It just makes sense that they would place this into the government indoctrination centers. And they did it so quietly. They want to control your kids' minds. Fill their brains full of Marxist mush.
