BREAKING: Tennessee Legislature Repeals Common Core

NASHVILLE, April 21, 2015 - Yesterday, in a bipartisan vote, the Tennessee House of Representatives voted unanimously (97:0) to repeal Common Core. Today, the Tennessee State Senate followed with a (27:1) vote in favor of repeal.

"This legislation is a template for all states to begin a much needed journey of separation from federally generated standards and an invitation to embrace each states' own constitutionally delegated authority to serve its citizens at its own will," said HB1035 chief sponsor Rep. Billy Spivey (R-Lewisburg). "As our founders and God surely intended."

HB1035 reads, in part, "WHEREAS, these new Tennessee academic standards shall be adopted and fully implemented in Tennessee public schools in the 2017-2018 school year, at which time the previously adopted set of standards shall be rescinded."

Perhaps there is hope that states will side with our children's welfare over that of an out-of-control govt and its desire to raise them as drones to authority!

wonder what that strange smell in the WH is today?

sheeet I wish Michigan would figure this out

I thought this might go the way of the ebonics wave,, a fad idea created to make it seem like the education system was trying to do better,,

Buh-bye communist core.

If the RNC pushes Bubba J on us as "our choice" you can count on Commie Core becoming FED law!
