At CPAC, Jeb Bush was asked by Sean Hannity if Common Core was a federal takeover. He responded “no” and then amended his answer to “it shouldn’t be”:
With this President and this Department of Education there is a risk they will intrude … We should say quite clearly in the re-authorization of the K-12 law … the federal government has no role in the creation of standards either directly or indirectly; the federal government has no role in the creation of curriculum and content. The federal government should have no access to student ID or information.
Will this prove enough to satisfy the Common Core moms in key early primary states?
Bush’s education remarks begin around the 12 minute mark.

Squish, squish, squish.
Jeb Bush should take the real conservative step by noting that since it was established under Jimmy Carter per pupil spending is up nearly 400% while education results have declined.
With such a dismal record, and given that there is no Article 1 Section 8 authority for a Department of Education, it should be abolished.
Jeb Bush will not take this courageous stand as he believes in big government, even if he calls himself a conservative.
