"While Edwards said he was directing his legal counsel to drop the lawsuit, state Attorney General Jeff Landry, citing the state Constitution, said later in the day he will review the challenge and make the final decision.

As Louisiana attorney general, I am intervening in this case and I will determine if it will proceed, Landry said in a prepared statement. I want to be sure the U. S. Department of Education is not holding our local schools hostage."

All the new legislation does is change the name.

I think the people of Louisiana are going to rue the day they elected a democrat. Although the choices were not all that great.

We must never give up the fight against Common Core. Never ever. Even if you don’t have children you have a vested interest in ridding schools of this evil garbage, lest the Republic will be lost for sure.

Edwards sez “...newly enacted federal legislation makes moot the issues raised in the lawsuit.”

DC has decreed it. The peons will shut up and obey.

Some FReepers actually support this guy.

All the conservative progress made by former governor Bobby Jindal is currently being reversed by Edwards, the new Democrat gov of Louisiana. He’s a tax and spend liberal and supporter of top down DC dictatorship and everything else conservatives are supposed to be against.

In the Presidential race, many FReepers would not even bother to look at Jindal’s solid conservative record, instead preferring to insult him with comments of “get me a cherry slurpee, Bobby.”
We rail and holler about the bias in the mainstream media, yet we continue to allow the mainstream media—and their polls—to control whom we pay attention to, and whom we will ignore.
SMH.

Everyone can name Jeb Bush’s greatest accomplishment, even though there is nothing great about it.

Jindal’s lawsuit had a strong case according to the article below.

From this article:
June 22 2015
New Lawsuit Challenges Constitutionality of Common Core
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/06/22/new-lawsuit-challenges-constitutionality-of-common-core/

At the national level, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) has brought a lawsuit against the Obama administration’s Department of Education, one that syndicated radio host Hugh Hewitt and his fellow law professor John Eastman have said could be as significant as the court’s decision in Texas to halt Obama’s executive amnesty.

Jindal’s lawsuit claims that “through regulatory and rule making authority, Defendants have constructed a scheme that effectively forces States down a path toward a national curriculum.”
