But the newest chorus of complaints is coming from one of the most liberal states, and one of the earliest champions of the standards: New York. And that is causing supporters of the Common Core to shudder.

Carol Burris, an acclaimed high school principal on Long Island, calls the Common Core a “disaster.”

“We see kids,” she said, “they don’t want to go to school anymore.”

This is great, but the leftist response is similar to that of criticizing Communism itself, that is, that it went wrong only because it wasn’t implemented correctly. This is essentially what Cuomo’s comeback is.

Like everything else from the left - the only way to ‘fix’ it is to get rid of it. Completely.
