Re: [Phys-L] Of interest? Roots of Common Core



Regarding bc's reference:

The surprising conservative roots of the Common Core: How conservatives gave rise to ‘Obamacore’ | Brookings Institution

Surprising? After pushing other private market-based conservative-inspired policies like Cap & Trade for carbon pollution control ( http://www.smithsonianmag.com/air/the-political-history-of-cap-and-trade-34711212/?page=2 ) and Romney/Obamacare for the health insurance industry why are the conservative roots of Common Core in the realm of education so surprising? It appears that conservatives have tended to recoil from such proposals and policies only after the hated Obama came around to embracing them.
