Arne Duncan: Feds Won't Prescribe Even 'A Single Semicolon' of Curricula


CAT Tracks Editor's Note:

Despite pleas from Common Core advocates to STFU...

Arne the Duncan is damned and determined to grab the spotlight, the proverbial "deer in the headlights".

As for the substance of his remarks...

With apologies to William Shakespeare:

Duncan's words do not match his actions...

...demanding as he does that states adopt the CCSS if they want a waiver from NCLB...

...and if they want a share of the Obama Administration's RTTT money.


Mr. Secretary:

Tell us one more time that you are not sticking your nose into state matters where it doesn't belong...
