Line item veto of any funding for standardized testing based on national common core standards. That the LOCAL school board should determine the standards appropriate for them. This is one of the reasons I favor as Walker.

Yes.

And to repeat for the benefit of those who don't know, the Superintendent of Public Instruction of Wisconsin (Tony Evers since 2009) holds elective office -- that office is NOT appointed by the party of the sitting governor.

It was under Walker’s predecessor, Gov. James Doyle (D), that state superintendent Tony Evers signed Wisconsin up with the Common Core in June of 2010, making it the first state to actually commit to the standards.

But Walker shortly after assuming office (only governor who HAS) did do THIS:

January 3, 2011: Walker assumes Office of Governor of Wisconsin.

June 27, 2011: Walker Revokes In-state Tuition For Undocumented Students Attending Univ And Colleges In Wisconsin "- On Sunday, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (R) signed his two-year 2011-2013 budget, which included ending in-state tuition for undocumented students attending public universities and colleges. In-state tuition for undocumented students was approved two years ago by former Governor Jim Doyle (D) after the Hispanic community struggled for 10 years to pass it"...
