To be fair, Walker did promise to get rid of Common Core, a promise he has not kept.
Why don't you explain to us how he should do this.
The Wisconsin Superintendent of Public Instruction is a powerful elected office.
But thanks to Scott Walker, Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Evers can no longer require school districts to use Common Core.
Common Core is not federally mandated.
If you don't know anything other than what the msm is feeding you, here is some places for you to find information.
"The superintendent's responsibilities include providing leadership for Wisconsin's public school districts; provide the public with information about school management, attendance, and performance; licensing the state's teachers; and receive and disburse federal aid for schools..."

Wisconsin school districts can opt out. Let's see if Tony Evers, a liberal activist, will sue Wisconsin school districts...
WI Schools Chief Threatens Lawsuit if Common Core Is Rejected
"The state of Wisconsin has held three out of four public hearings on Common Core Standards. State Superintendent Tony Evers must be feeling the heat because he offered legislators a veiled threat that any rejection of Common Core Standards may be taken to the Supreme Court. This threat outrages citizens across the state who are trying to protect their right to exercise local control of schools.
Kim Simac, Wisconsin State Director for Concerned Women for America, Chairperson for Northwoods Patriots, and one of the major community organizers in northern Wisconsin, stated, “Superintendent Evers’ threat to jump directly to the Wisconsin Supreme Court should any legislation or decision be made to opt out of CCSS exposes his lack of confidence in the standards themselves. Those supporters of CCSS should have an arsenal of evidence that proves excellence and superiority in the product. Obviously they do not.”................

July 20, 2015: Scott Walker’s Veto on State Assessment Budget Language
".........I am partially vetoing section 3248b as it relates to renumbering s. 118.30 (1) (a) and vetoing section 3248c in its entirety. This provision is unnecessary and would have codified assessment criteria in state law that are closely aligned with national standards I oppose and which local school districts should not be mandated to adopt. Ultimately, local school boards across Wisconsin should be able to determine what test they administer and what standards they adopt.
The emphasis is mine. It is important to hold elected officials accountable, but it is also important to point out when they have done the right thing. He defunded Smarter Balanced, and now he is trying to make sure, within his power, that schools will be able to select the assessment they use.
I have to give him kudos for that.
This precedes a trip he made to Iowa last week where he railed against a “nationwide school board.”
During a speech at the grand opening of his Iowa campaign headquarters last Thursday, Walker appealed to local control.
“Going forward I believe in high standards, but I think those standards should be set at the local level – no Common Core, no nationwide school board. We need to take money and power out of Washington and send it back to our states and back to our schools where it is more effective, more efficient, and more accountable to the American taxpayers out there,” Walker said....."
