Issue Position: Stopping Common Core

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2016
Issues: Education

Common Core is an uncommonly poor idea even by government standards. We've grown accustomed to ridiculous government programs but Common Core seems to have been derived by hippies on acid in DC. It makes no sense… none. Common Core is an indicator of just how far we have fallen as a nation. If I have anything to say about it… Common Core will be history.

Regarding the Federal governments role in education, I would greatly diminish or completely dismantle the U.S. Department of Education. (Also referred to as ED or the Education Department) It's another segment of the 4th Branch of our federal government that we don't need. The state of Louisiana has the LADOE. That's enough. School choice and the education of our children is best decided on a local level by loving parents and dedicated teachers.
