"Viewed from Washington, which often is the last to learn about important
developments, opposition to the Common Core State Standards Initiative
still seems as small as the biblical cloud that ariseth out of the sea,
no larger than a man’s hand. Soon, however, this education policy will
fill a significant portion of the political sky.
Opposition to the Common Core is surging because Washington, hoping to
mollify opponents, is saying, in effect: “If you like your local control
of education, you can keep it. Period.”
To which a burgeoning movement
is responding: “No. Period.” "
[George Will]
