Corbett cited the loss of control and overreach by the federal government. Good for him. Common Core represents the loss of state sovereignty over education.
Last year, Pennsylvania made some changes from the 2010 version, although much of the Common Core remains.
Mr. Corbett views the state board’s action in 2013 the beginning of “the formal process of repealing and replacing the national Common Core Standards with the Pennsylvania-specific standards.”
In the news release, Mr. Corbett said, “I am now asking the State Board to continue the process we began at the start of my term and to ensure that any final influence of the national Common Core State Standards is eradicated from Pennsylvania.”
Mr. Corbett said the Common Core has been “overly influenced by the federal government,” calling it “nothing more than a top-down takeover of the education system.” – Post Gazette
INDEED.
So where is North Carolina’s Republican Governor?
Busy with Operation Rebrand!
Governor McCrory is not listening to the slew of citizens and parents who have complained, protested and spoken out about Common Core. He’s still listening to his Education Aide — The Common Core pushing Democrat-in-hiding and Teach For America Alum, Eric Guckian.
