JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., – Both chambers of the Missouri legislature have passed a bill to end the state’s involvement in the Common Core educational standards. One final committee approval is required before sending the bill to the Governor’s desk for a signature.
House Bill 1490 (HB1490) passed through the state senate on May 1 by a 24-8 margin. It had previously passed the house by a 132-19 vote. Since the Senate version differed from the House version, the House had an opportunity to accept the amendments offered by the Senate, but refused. That sends the bill to a joint conference committee, with members of both chambers, to work out the differences in the bill and finalized the version going to the governor.
A spokesman for Rep. Bahr, the bill’s chief sponsor, said, “The conference was requested by the floor leader since the house passed a four page bill and the senate sent back a 44 page version. He did not feel like there would be enough time for all 150 house reps to pour over all of the new information in the bill to pass it speedily and also doing their duty.”

This is a strike against Democrat Communism in America.
We as decent Americans must Vote down the party of Communists at every venue.
The democrat Communists must be defeated.
God bless the people of Missouri for standing up to the socialist.
I wish that a congressman or woman propose a similar bill in Maryland, then hold the lawmakers responsible to the voters wishes. Remember it's not about the kids, it's about Federal dollars.
Delegate Smigiel did introduce REPEAL COMMON CORE legislation in the last session - he was treated in an extremely rude manner by the Chairwoman and after testimonies from many citizens (limited to the 2 minute rule) in support of repeal, allowed the opposition extra time to propagandize. Don't remember it getting out of committee, tho..........
I would expect that every single democrat currently holding office and those seeking office would be able to answer any and all questions concerning CC.
This is a big step and they better know all that it entails and if they don't they are grossly remiss in their duties.
Same goes w/the MD Healthcare. If the democrats can't answer any and all questions people have then they are useless as law and policy makers.
Take they to task and if they can't or aren't willing to answer the questions, dismiss them as ill informed. We must have higher standards then to settle for incompetent elected officials.
