Jeb Bush Must Explain His Support For Common Core
Investor's Business Daily ^ | December 18, 2014 | IBD EDITORIALS

Election 2016: Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush embraces one-size-fits-all national education standards that would turn schools into re-education camps for the left. His decision could cause trouble with GOP primary voters.

As is the tradition these days, Jeb Bush, brother of one former president and son of another, has announced via social media that he is preparing to run for president, setting the stage for another Bush-Clinton contest in 2016 should former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton get the Democratic nomination.

To be the Republican nominee, Bush must run a gauntlet of primaries where he'll need to persuade Tea Party types and hard-core conservatives to get behind an "establishment" candidate who supports Common Care, a program that former Rep. Allen West has called "the ObamaCare of education."

Common Core is a set of education and learning standards that so far has produced bizarre lesson and learning plans. Some see it as a progressive dream of turning K-12 schools into leftist re-education camps — much as many major universities and colleges already are.

There is utterly nothing that Jeb Bush could do or say that would cause me to vote for him. I will go to the pools and vote for Elizabeth Warren Hillary Clinton, or Bill Ayers if Bush is the candidate.

Sorry, but for any thinking conservative, Jeb Bush’s support for Commie Core is self-explanatory.

Jeb Bush must tell us why he is a liberal ahole and a coward in regards to taking on Comrade Obama and his authoritarian regime.

Jeb is simply not a very intelligent man. If I was a Democrat moron, I’d send him a contribution. Bob

No explanation necessary. Jeb just needs to go away.

This is a country that has eclipsed the world for centuries. Industrially, Agriculturally, Militarily and in all other ways. It has all been done with and by people who were taught the three Rs as the basis of education.

I ask a simple question. Why fix something that isn’t broken?

Not to me he doesn’t.

He is simply not getting my vote no matter what.
