Gov. Bobby Jindal announced his plans to try to yank Louisiana out of the Common Core education standards.The Republican governor planned a Wednesday news conference to talk about Louisiana's use of the English and math benchmarks adopted by most states.

Jindal opposes the standards as an attempted federal takeover of education. He's said he's looking at executive actions to scrap use of Common Core.

He also vetoed the dog restraining law in pick ups. Said it was to broad. Now if he'll only veto the yeti sticker.

it's good for the time being. They have some work to do to tweak the system, but as it is now, it kinda sucks being forced to implement it the way it is written now

Is this a math problem?

If yes, I don't know the answer.

Common Core is a joke. It's bullshite trying to pretend it teaches critical thinking. Kids get partial credit if they say 2+2=5 if they show how they came to the result.

It is good to hear that Mr. Jindal will be rejecting all federal intrusion and thus all federal funds in Louisiana schools.

People only think common core is bad because they weren't taught that way and don't know how to do their kids' work for them!

You guys patting him on the back take a look at the link I posted. He's the one responsible for imposing it here in the first place.

And it's impressive to see a politician admit he was wrong and do something about it.
