Although South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley didn't use Bruce Willis' famous line as John McClane...

...for sure, she is a die-hard opponent of the CCSS!

S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley blasts Common Core, wants state to scrap it


CAT Tracks Editor's Note:

I'm going out on a limb here...

Education is never, ever a major issue in elections, but, with the "death" of Obamacare as an issue to rally Republicans...

"Obamacore" may have a chance!


DISCLAIMER:

No, President Obama did not "invent" the Common Core State Standards...

...but, he and his main mouthpiece (Arne the Duncan) have seized it as their guiding light toward school reform and required CCSS adoption in order to get a waiver from No Child Left Behind or to receive any chance at a share of the RttT funding.

So, Obamacore?

Fits like a glove...
