Copyright Forces FL to Withdraw or Continue Imposing Common Core

Florida education officials must fish or cut bait.  Because of the copyright issues and rules from the Common Core Initiative (see quotes), the only way to substantively change the standards to do what Florida officials have promised is to withdraw.  There is no other way to have truly specific state standards and assessments, to make the math standards rigorous enough for STEM careers, and make them developmentally appropriate, all stated desires of the governor, the speaker, the Senate president, and the commissioner. Either they must admit they are keeping the Common Core standards with only superficial changes against the will of the people or proceed with standards and tests that are specific for Florida.

Common Core is being pushed by people who want to interfere in the education process. It's just another way of giving power and control to the government. From controlling health care to education, they want Socialism. What is next? Where was the discussion with educators and parents about this wonderful change. The children are ours. Since when should the powers that be make these kinds of decisions for our children and their parents. Then we come to find out (just like Obamacare) that they have included many intrusions into the lives of our children and their families. When is this madness going to stop?
