Rand Paul Fights Against High Standards for Students

BY April 28, 2015
Rand Paul from Kentucky tried to advertise his stance on the State Standards with his recent amendment to the Senate’s Every Child Achieves Act:
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.: Filed an amendment that would strengthen existing language that specifies that no state is required to adopt the Common Core State Standards. This is already current policy, but by all means: introduce unnecessary amendments.
It’s too bad his stance is woefully misinformed:
“If you have a national curriculum and rules, you’ll never get to these new ideas,” the Senator said. Once again, these are standards. Common Core is not a curriculum.
