Senator David Vitter has drafted legislation that would allow states to pull out of Common Core: The intent of Vitter’s bill is to enable states to more easily exit the national standards, which more and more parents and educators have come to oppose, by voiding requirements attached to previously issued waivers from federal law. States likely could retain their waivers from the law, called No Child Left Behind, even if they chose to pull out of Common Core. Opponents have criticized the Obama administration for “incentivizing” states to sign on to the Common Core standards by offering $4.35 billion in grants and waivers under its “Race to the Top” program.
