Florida Governor To End Common Core Standards For Schools

CAPE CORAL, FL — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Thursday that he will sign an executive order eliminating the Common Core standards from Florida schools and replacing them with yet-to-be determined Florida standards.

"Today we are doing an executive order that is going to instruct (Florida Education) Commissioner Corcoran to get to work and come up with good standards for the state of Florida, which will include eliminating Common Core and the vestiges of Common Core," DeSantis announced during a lunchtime visit to Ida S. Baker High School in Cape Coral.

The governor said he heard from a number of parents during the campaign who were frustrated by Florida's education system.

"One of the things that we would constantly hear about on the campaign trail is a frustration, with a lot of parents in particular, with this idea of Common Core and some of the testing, and some of the things that go into that. It's called Florida Standards," said DeSantis.

The governor said he wants to see standards that are "authentic Florida-based" standards.

"Let's just try to get this right. We want to be very high quality. We want to demand excellence, but I think we want to do that in a way that's responsive to some of the concerns that we've had over the many number of years," he explained.

DeSantis, who has two young children, said the education commissioner will be required to develop a road map to get to the Florida standards.

"He's also going to tell us how we can increase the quality of our instructional curriculum," the governor said. "He's going to suggest innovative ways to streamline some of the testing and to make that so it's something that is measuring success, but we're not just teaching to a test."

Finally, the governor said the commissioner will be asked to identify ways to make civics education a priority in Florida.

"You really need to understand what makes America the country it is," said DeSantis. "I think it's important — and when we're sending some of these students out — that they're not only prepared for a career, or prepared for higher education, but they are prepared to discharge the duties of citizenship."

I'm yet to meet a person who agrees with third trimester abortion. Which is what sparked this new outrage. I personally believe it to be dispicable and I wish our politicians would spend their energy encouraging prevention and safe sex rather than abortion as a method of birth control (I know first hand that black people in the cities do. I met a girl who had 7 and her boyfriend gets her a bacon egg and cheese on a roll afterward. They had a routine.)

Im not okay with paying for it. I'm not okay with killing a baby being born. My niece was born 4 months premature. She weighed ONE pound. When she was born, her skin was translucent. But she was a living baby and today she is 8 years old and the funniest little kid you'll ever meet. She is also an amazing marksman. Truly a miracle.

theres really no way to know for sure. I was in a restaurant 4 months ago and the waitress had Q's on her nails. When I told her I was an oldfag, follower since day ONE she said she hasnt been on the boards, but shes part of facebook groups.

So the hard work and endless memetic warfare on Q's mark paid off, because we reached alot of fucking people.

out of all my accomplishments in life, this board and what we have done together is by far my proudest accomplishment.
