The Sneaky Tactic Some States Are Using Now That Parents Are Standing Up Against Common CoreFeb. 18, 2014 10:29pm Jason Howerton As fed-up parents across the nation voice their staunch opposition to federal Common Core standards, several states are trying a new approach to appease them… by just changing the name in a “rebranding” effort. In Iowa, Common Core is now referred to as “The Iowa Core” and as “Next Generation Sunshine State Standards” in Florida. Further, Arizona Gov.

Louisiana is also reportedly considering a name change. www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/02/18/guess-what-sneaky-tactic-some-states-are-using-now-that-parents-are-standing-up-against-common-core/
