| Jindal issues orders to sever Common Core ties |
| 2014-06-19 |
| [POLITICO] Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal issued executive orders Wednesday to withdraw the state from the Common Core standards and federally subsidized standardized tests, defying his state legislature, his superintendent of education and the business community -- but endearing himself to tea party activists across the country who could be influential in early primary states if he chooses to run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016. "We want out of Common Core," Jindal said at a presser. "We're very alarmed about choice and local control of curriculum being taken away from our parents and educators. It is never too late to make the right decision." |
