Oklahoma Governor Signs Bill Repealing Common CoreFriday, 06 Jun 2014 01:33 PM Gov. Mary Fallin has signed legislation making Oklahoma the third state to repeal the Common Core education standards, saying the federal government's attempt to influence state education policy is reason enough to abolish the math and English guidelines that had been scheduled to take effect in the upcoming school year. The bill, overwhelmingly passed in the House and Senate on the final day of the 2014 Legislature, requires the state to return to old standards in place before 2010 and calls for new ones to be developed by 2016. It requires all new standards and revisions to be subject to legislative review. "We are very capable as Oklahomans of developing our own Oklahoma standards to make sure that our children receive the highest quality education possible in our state," Fallin said after signing the bill Thursday. www.newsmax.com/US/US-Common-Core-Oklahoma/2014/06/06/id/575634/
