ISTOOK: Anarchy, bullying and extortion on Obama’s Internet

FILE In this July 21, 2014 file photo, students at a summer reading academy at Buchanan elementary school work in the computer lab at the school in Oklahoma City. The Oklahoma Supreme Court has confirmed the Legislature was well within its authority to repeal a set of education standards in math and English known as Common Core. But what&#8217;s still uncertain is whether reverting back to the old academic standards will put Oklahoma students at a disadvantage when competing against those in more than 40 other states who are moving ahead with the more advanced and rigorous new ones developed under Common Core. A much-needed overhaul of American public education _ new methods of teaching English and math and redesigned testing _ was sponsored by U.S. state governors five years ago and has been adopted in nearly every state. Now the program to make U.S. students more competitive with global counterparts is caught in bitter partisan divisions in the country where some politicians are trying to win support from voters who are mad at Washington.
