Senator Grassley invites fellow Senators to sign anti-Common Core letter
April 21, 2013
The Department of Education’s Race to the Top initiative, along with it’s components, including the Common Core State Standards, are questionable on so many levels. They are the Executive Branch’s attempt to do the Congress’s job and make education law. Furthermore, education isn’t even a federal enumerated power.
Race to the Top funding was placed in the 2009 Stimulus Bill.
We are glad that some lawmakers are now taking notice and taking action. Senator Grassley has written a letter and has invited his fellow senators to sign on. Read the letter.
We urge all the Senators to sign on to restore sovereignty to the states, and to restore respect for the separation of powers.
