Grayson applauded for education leadership

ALPHARETTA, GA – The founders of the Georgia volunteer citizen organization, About Common Core, honored Conservative Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, as the only candidate in the Senate race to receive the Education Freedom Award at a ceremony held in downtown Alpharetta yesterday. Grayson set himself apart from the rest of the candidates, by signing a pledge and vowing to repeal Common Core. Grayson stands firm on the principles of bringing education back to the states, where the power is given back to teachers and parents.

In receiving this award, Grayson wants Georgia voters to know: “Common Core is nothing more than yet another Federal Government power grab.” He went on to say, “ This is why we must end the Department of Education and return our educational system back to the state. I stand alone in this battle, because I am the only candidate who is willing to go on the record and be held accountable to the people of our state. Again, this is a States Rights issue and the Federal Government has no business in Education. Bringing the power of education back to the states allows YOU to have more control of what/how your children learn. I believe that our teachers and parents know what is best for their children and I have faith that they will hold their locally elected officials accountable to them.”

About Common Core is a grassroots organization comprised of volunteer citizens including educators, parents and civic leaders. About Common Core’s mission is to defend every child, teacher and family from the exposure to the destructive, unproven influences of Common Core and its dangerous abuses of our children’s privacy. About Common Core’s goal is to eradicate Common Core in every state as quickly as possible. To that end, About Common Core recently released a free mobile app for all smart phones and tablets. The app is available by either visiting www.AboutCommonCore.com or through Google, Amazon, or the Apple App Store.
