Urgent Calls Needed to End Federal Funding for Common Core
No, this isn’t an April Fool’s Day joke. Brave members of Congress are actually pushing to eliminate all federal funding for the Common Core State Standards Initiative. And we need your urgent phone calls to help make this happen.
As appropriations season heats up and members of Congress work on funding the federal government, Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley and Iowa Representative Steve King are asking their colleagues to sign onto a letter to members of both Appropriations Committees, asking the committees to stop any federal funds from being used to incentivize the states to adopt—or keep—the Common Core. As parents across the nation have fought to withdraw their state from the Common Core, one of the most common responses is that rejecting the Common Core would cause the state to lose federal funds. If Senator Grassley and Representative King are successful in ending federal support for the Common Core, many more states will likely withdraw from the Common Core.
