The Republican flip-flop on the Common Core is nearly complete.
On Thursday, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie officially pulled the plug on any support he had left for the Common Core.
He joins the ranks of other GOP presidential candidates who supported, then ditched, the controversial education standards after a sustained conservative backlash: Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, once a Common Core supporter, is now suing the federal government over the academic standards in math and English. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee previously supported Common Core, but in August, he called for an end to the fighting over the standards. But now that he’s running for president, he’s tweeting, “Kill Common Core. Restore common sense.” Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker also supported the Common Core during his first term as governor, but has since called for replacing the standards and aligned tests.
Virtually every 2016 Republican presidential candidate has turned against the education standards, other than former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.

Jeb obviously is a product of Common Core.
The Dauphin is this election’s designated RINO loser....they’re going three for three.
Jeb is in the wrong party. He should be Hillary’s VP running mate.
Common Core, like No Child Left Behind, sounds very high-minded, but its real agenda lies in dumbing down the basic education requirements so the vast majority of indoctrinated students passing through it have no idea what really makes up America, or the means to secure the bright and shining city on the hill.
They come out scarcely able to write their own names. Print it, or type it out on a keyboard, but write it, no.
Maybe by the next generation we can just plug a cell phone right into the cortex of the brain. SO much easier to fill young skulls full of mush.
With more mush.
all flip floppers, just run of the mill politicians. which way is the wind blowing for votes? I’ll go that way, no matter what I believe in my own mind.
I'm sure he'll perform a two-step around that question but it would be fun to see it posed to him.
“CC” is one terrible idea and once implemented, it didn’t take a rocket scientist to see what a loser it turned out to be. Jeb is definitely taking the wrong train.
Common Core was formulated and approved by the Association of Governors—STATE governors— to remedy the dismal educational achievements in the U.S. relative to other nations, particularly in math and
science.
Jeb Bush has always supported a common-core program as a STATE program, and emphatically not as a federal program.
Bush's educational achievements in Florida are an example of the success of a curriculum devised by individual STATES to meet the obvious needs in U. S. schools to raise achievement levels, particularly in math and science.
The other candidates know that the Association of Governors originated the program and that it was a STATE program from the start, and that it was widely supported.
But through their lack of courage to explain common core as a state program, have conveniently reversed themselves in pandering to the hysteria of the mob for political gain.
Bush has shown backbone, something mobs do not like.
Kasich still supports it in Ohio. He very much wants to be Jeb’s Veep bobo.
He will drop out after the Ohio primary when he get’s enough “That’s MY Gov!” votes to split the winner take all percentage low enough for Jeb to win with 19%. The Veep slot will be his reward - after all, as Ohio goes, so goes the nation.
A Florida/Ohio combo would be formidable.
It may not be as formidable as you think if by Florida Ohio you mean Jeb and Jeb’s bobo Kasich. I’d be happy to sit at home right here in Cincinnati on that election day. Portman gave $100,000 to Cochrane last June to fund his race baiting attacks on McDaniel. Seriously, what would I have to vote for with that nightmare ballot?
Of course, he is. He is one of the evil sodomites who want to fundamentally destroy the minds of little children and destroy the type of mind which could conceive of Individual Natural Rights come only from God (the Christian Mind). Christianity is the pillar of Western Civilization and the Age of Reason (mind of Newton) and Modern Science (Reason and Reasoned Faith (St. Thomas A.) Children have to be idiots—to be “happy slaves” who believe “snow is black” and girls are boys “Fichte 1810). They have emotions embedded to concepts by our public schools and TV shows-—(Christians evil and bigots and sodomizing others is fun and good and normal)—to destroy Reason—enlarge the Limbic area of the brain by hyper-sexualization of children to destroy Intellectual pursuit—addict them to puerile behaviors-—like the adult males in Afghanistan raised in such an unnatural, hyper sexualized boy harem system which literally destroys Reason and Virtue in children.
Bushes all want children to be forced (like now in Ireland) to “think” that sodomy is a “virtue” like all the pagan, brutal, tribal cultures of the Samurai, and Spartans and today’s Afghanistan.
Children will have the Laws of Nature-—the understanding of Truth/Science and the ability to “think” like a George Washington or a Lincoln or any MORAL, RATIONAL human who is “raised” in the Natural environment-—to understand Reality. (It will be the Marxist controlled environment of total dehumanization-—eventually only State raises all babies and assigns occupations or kills the useless eaters).
They will be conditioned to have unnatural desires, to have warped perceptions that will never allow a boy to grow up to be a Newton-—be able to understand the Laws of Nature-—because Truth/God can not exist in such a warped, evil toxic cultures which obscures the Truth/Reality and actually sets up a system to sell and buy little children and deny children their biological parent exactly like the Communist Manifesto (and it is good-—a Satanic, dehumanizing “virtue” system).
All studies prove that the only humanizing factor in people is the Natural Family-—all other systems will dehumanize-—start to reduce the possibility of a civil (humane) society.
The dysfunctional-—no biological connections to the future or past-—destroys the ability to “Love” and “care”——and the children in Romania orphanages just died-—when they lost that Will to live-—which happens in artificial environments.
Get your children OUT of the artificial environments-—all are dehumanizing. The Natural family and the role models of mother and father are the most important and should be the first teachers of all “human” beings. We used to understand how evil orphanages were-—these groups of puerile children removed from biological meaning-—and how many children were abused and literally killed in such a system.
Now we have believed the agitprop of the Goebbels Prussian system of indoctrination and “mandatory” education——a system which took younger and younger minds (Germany created Kindergarten).....to brainwash and condition children to be “happy slaves” and be so irrational they believe “snow is black” (Fichte 1810). Your children in these “public schools” are being manipulated and controlled by mass psychology of Wundt/Pavlov/Fichte and Skinner. They have devised a system when they threw out Classical Education to create useful idiots ONLY.......few children can ESCAPE that conditioning to believe “snow is black” and they will have minds like the youth of Ireland-—believe in any insane concept-—even the Marxist ridiculous idea that sets children up to be slaves of the state and bought and sold and raised in complete artificial environments.
The “happy slavery” children are incapable of Reason and Logic-—like the Afghani boys, who grow up to be men, whose emotions are tied to irrational concepts and evil desires (puerile base emotions) warped in childhood (fixated at puerile stages) by being in boy harems and dehumanized by being sodomized—the most degrading act for males, so they learn to lust after males, boys and hate and mutilate women.
All behaviors are learned and habituated. Aristotle knew that if Virtue was not habituated and learned in childhood, then civil society was impossible. Inner control is essential for Virtue.
Marxist theory is all about grouping and teaching hate of the “Other”—to destroy Love and the ability to have a civil society. No Virtue and Freedom is impossible. The Cultural Marxists KNEW to destroy Virtue in children (Christianity) is to get total control-—create addicts-—and the State will be god.
The U. S. Electoral College.
The standards were created by the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers to improve academic achievement and increase accountability. President Barack Obama and his administration embraced them.Actually, Barack Obama did not simply “embrace” a concept that others developed; instead, the very roots of Common Core are in the early ideas generated by him and his fellow radical community organizer, Bill Ayers.
