Tennessee House Votes to Delay Common Core

After months of fighting, activists scored a huge victory against Common Core in Tennessee.

This week, the Tennessee State House voted to delay Common Core testing for two years. The bill, which was sponsored by Representative Timothy Hill, passed by an incredible majority: 82-11.

Delaying Common Core is a huge victory for education freedom. These federal top-down standards were developed by special interests. They take control of school curriculum away from parents and local communities.

All over the country, conservative activists are fighting Common Core. They know these federal standards will dumb-down education and put America behind.

If the next generation of Americans is going to succeed, they need education that fits their unique needs. Common Core’s top-down approach fails at helping individual students.

Tennessee is leading the way by delaying Common Core. And it wouldn’t be possible without the hard work of passionate advocates for liberty.
