Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) unveiled a plan that he said will rid the state of Common Core education standards, the Baton Rouge Advocate reports.
State Superintendent of Education John White, a former Jindal ally, issued a “blistering” denunciation of the proposal saying it would return the state to 10-year-old, inferior education standards and force state lawmakers and others to approve new ones in an “unprecedented scheme of bureaucracy and an extraordinarly costly maneuver.”
He added that Jindal’s initiative is “quite literally a political plan.”
