Common Core supporters to Obama- Shut up!

President Barack Obama and his Secretary of Education Arne Duncan's cheerleading for Common Core Standards is backfiring across the United States and some of those who support the standards want them to keep it to themselves:

The backlash has been accelerated by the Obama administration, which had no role in drafting the system but has sought to latch on to the effort and take credit for higher education standards, said Michael Brickman, national policy director at the conservative-leaning Thomas B. Fordham Institute in Washington.

“I think it’s time for the Obama administration and Arne Duncan to take a back seat. They’ve tried to jump in and cheerlead. It’s time for the states to tell the administration that ‘we’ve got it from here,’” he said. “They think it’s a good idea, but it’s not their place or any administration’s place to be pushing states on this. It’s something that started as a state initiative and it should continue to be a state initiative.”
