EXCERPT “I’m all for high standards. Wisconsin has some of the highest standards on its own. I just believe the standards should be set by people within the state and not outside the state. They should ultimately be set at the local level,” said [Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker] in the Green Bay area on Thursday. Walker is calling on the state legislature to create new standards that would take the Common Core’s place.... The governor said he has issues with the new [Common Core-aligned national test]. “I also want them to make it perfectly clear in the statutes that school districts do not have to use common core, and that we take it a step further and we work with the legislature to make sure there aren’t things like the Smarter Balanced test going forward that require the schools to use the Common Core,” said Walker.
