Reject Common Core


Mike Scupin reported to the Georgia House Committee on the role of the federal government in education. He reminded them that under the U.S. Constitution there is no role for the federal government in education. It is not one of the enumerated powers assigned to the federal government in the Constitution (as written). The 10th Amendment leaves education to the states and the people.
Mike reminded the committee that up until the 1930s, the U.S. had the best education system in the world. Federal involvement has ruined education.
Mr. Scupin is the Vice President of the Georgia Grassroots Coalition. Presently, the members represent some 181,000 citizens of Georgia.
 
Hopefully, his report will give Georgia House Reps the incentive to demand that the Georgia Legislature join the voters of Georgia and finally reject Common Core completely.
