It appears the pro-Common Core group Stand For Children Oklahoma plans to get involved in this year’s legislative races.
An email being sent to some candidates from Kristin May, a policy analyst with Stand for Children Oklahoma, reads, “We are sending out a survey for all legislative candidates as part of our endorsement process. We’d like to send you a link to the survey via email. If you’d like to participate, could you
please send me your email address? If you’d like more information on
Stand for Children, you can check us out at stand.org/Oklahoma.”
The battle over Common Core standards in schools has become one of this year’s most contentious issues. It pits Republicans against Republicans, with Governor Fallin and Schools Superintendent Janet Barresi in favor and numerous GOP legislators and others against.
The Federal Government should not be telling Oklahoma how to educate it’s children! It is very telling that our governor supports the intrusion of the feds into the education of Oklahomans. Has she really examined Common Core and what it contains? I think not.
