On August 28th, Governor McCrory went on the air with Pete Kaliner of WWNC. The audio has been posted online and folks should take time to hear what he said about Common Core and the Academic Standards Review Commission (ASRC). Reminder: Governor McCrory already tipped his hand on Operation Rebrand.
Prior to going on air, Pete Kaliner asked for questions to ask the Governor. I threw in a few:
@PeteKaliner I have one, why is @PatMcCroryNC sold on forcing Common Core in NC when it does nothing it claims? When the ppl do NOT want it?

@PeteKaliner Follow up: Would @PatMcCroryNC like to sit w/ the moms fighting this for 2 yrs for some the truth or keep listening to Guckian?

While Governor Rebrand was on the air, I was tweeting. I pointed out some inaccuracies in the Governor’s remarks as the interview progressed and other folks on Twitter, who were also listening to the interview, chimed in:
@PeteKaliner – asked @PatMcCroryNC about #SB812 and calls Replacement Commission a STUDY commission. This is wrong. #ncpol #ncgov

@PatMcCroryNC side-steps Common Core and dives into testing. @petekaliner, please redirect. #stopcommoncore

Dear @PatMcCroryNC SB812 does repeal CC from our statutes. #stopcommoncore

@LadyLiberty1885 Yes, he did. I heard it myself. Very disappointed in @PatMcCroryNC

@kgbunc @LadyLiberty1885 you are correct. If he doesnt #StopCommonCore his political career will be over beyond NC Gov. Trust me.

On #WWNC today, @PatMcCroryNC called the Common Core replacement commission a STUDY commission. We had a study Sir, this is a re-write team.

@NJMIPO The gov totally sidestepped the question about rebrand attempt; went into testing for cover. @kgbunc @PeteKaliner

@PatMcCroryNC I would protest in FAVOR of your policy to #STOPCOMMONCORE. Until then, you get no cookies from me. @PeteKaliner
