Today U.S. Representative Richard Hudson (NC-08) voted to permanently end Washington's mandate on Common Core.
"By extorting states to adopt Common Core, this administration has pursued unprecedented measures to strengthen its hold on our local classrooms. Today's vote to end Common Core is the linchpin in getting Washington's bureaucrats out of our local classrooms and returning control back to teachers, parents and students. As the son of a retired Cabarrus County public school teacher, I'll continue to fight to get the federal government out of our classrooms and ensure our schools can continue to build an environment where every student has the opportunity to succeed."
