Remember, when these standards were embraced four years ago as part of a national campaign to improve proficiency in math and English, [they were] neither partisan nor ideological. Business leaders endorsed the program, as did many Republican governors. So what happened? Martin’s report added an eerily familiar sentence: The Republican revolt against the Common Core can be traced to President Obama’s embrace of it. Imagine that. The list of issues that enjoyed GOP support right up until the president agreed with them isn’t short: cap and trade, individual health care mandates, payroll tax breaks, civilian trials for terrorist suspects, the DREAM Act, clean debt-ceiling increases, etc. But it appears Common Core belongs on the list.
