@coldjoint,
So is the wackadoo rightwingnut press is starting to eat their own? Wasn't Common Core part of a proposal made by the Cheney/Bush Administration under NCLB? Wasn't the Cheney/Bush administration supposedly Republicans and the best administration that money could buy?
I guess this would tend to prove that the Teapublican GOP and their running dog echo journalism press are as fickle as a preteen girl.
Quote:Common Core is not “ObamaCore,” as some suggest. While President Obama often tries to claim credit, the truth is that the development of Common Core was well underway before he took office in January 2009. Some argue that states were coerced into adopting Common Core by the Obama administration as a requirement for applying for its Race to the Top grant competition (and No Child Left Behind waiver program). But the administration has stated that adoption of “college and career readiness standards” doesn’t necessarily mean adoption of Common Core. At least a handful of states had K–12 content standards that were equally good, and the administration would have been hard-pressed to argue otherwise.

I'd ask you to read this ColdDope but I doubt that you can---it uses words that are well above the primary school level.
