Gov. Bobby Jindal's lawsuit against the Obama administration over the Common Core academic standards will be considered in a Baton Rouge federal court Nov. 20.

Judge Shelly D. Dick will preside over the preliminary hearing to determine whether Jindal has enough evidence to bring a legal case against U.S. Department of Education.

According to Jindal, the Obama administration forced Louisiana and other states to adopt a national Common Core curriculum when they tailored the requirements for federal education grant money and waivers to the Common Core academic standards.

Education policy is typically the domain of states -- not the federal government -- and many conservatives, including Jindal, worry about Obama interfering with state government authority.

Education experts have said Jindal's Common Core lawsuit is unlikely to succeed. The courts have sided with the federal government in similar legal disputes over education policy.

The governor has already lost one court battle over Common Core this year. Last month, a state judge ruled that Jindal had to stop blocking the state's purchase and use of Common Core tests.

Don’t “whore” yourself out for Fed monies.
