The only ones ‘politicizing‘ Common Core are the supporters, in particular in North Carolina it appears to be mainly elected officials. Yet another example – Senator Jeff Jackson who serves Mecklenburg County who was appointed at the beginning of May.
Voters in that area might want to remember this moment, where Mr. Jackson just marginalized parents, teachers and students across the state in an attempt to score political points:
Just voted against repealing Common Core. This bill was about conservative politics, not sound education policy. #ncga #ncpol

Thanks to Jen Hall for catching that:
Wait a minute. I thought it was wrong to politicize Common Core. https://t.co/tgM0aYOXD7 CC: @LadyLiberty1885

I’m glad it wasn’t someone in my district. But apparently this guy hasn’t done any research on how damaging CC is to minority students (which I’m sure he has in Mecklenburg county). Why do we keep electing these people?
