I just learned that @libertydocKaren passed away. I never had the opportunity to meet her in person, but spoke with her on the phone numerous times. I am so sorry to hear of this loss. I will miss her. She was a strong voice in the #EndFedEd fight. Praying for her family.

Bob Bowdon talks with @JoyPullmann on @PioneerBoston's podcast about the mediocre NAEP and PISA results, after a decade of the Common Core national education standards and the failed experiment with federal involvement in standards, curricula, and tests.

.@JoyPullmann: On Tuesday, the latest results from a respected international test showed U.S. students making no progress in math or reading in the past 19 years. It's the latest puncture in Common Core's inflated promises.
