I have a working knowledge but not one I can argue effectively against a professional pro CC (I wanted to say pro pro, but figured people might respond with .. ???? )
Indiana has already replaced Common core with its own curriculum standards. As Karen Schroeder has observed in the previously cited articles, the school boards do have the legal right to adopt other curriculum standards besides Common Core and have begun to do so in some jurisdictions. See:

In the past one of the hats I wore was as a strategist. In reference to Common Core, you could actually use Alinksky’s rules against the Alinksytes with a little modification substituting “truth” in the place of lies and deception. Its also the reason their mission is going to fail. Truth always trumps lies. They know it too. They’re just acting up while they still can.
