Bobby Jindal: I Flipped on Common Core Because it Was a ‘Bait and Switch’

‘I’m still for high standards. I don’t want a “one size fits all” approach coming out of D.C.’

"Two and used to be four. Now, in the common core, they’ve made it so complicated. There are lot of people that have changed their views on common core and they see what it has become. I am for high standards. I am for accountability. If this were truly being driven by the states, and we wrote into our [indecipherable] that they had to follow the state bid law. They didn’t do that. And that’s why we’ve gone to court. This is becoming a top-down approach, just like ObamaCare. We were told you can keep your doctor, your keep your health plan. We were told this be locally driven, local curriculum. That’s not what it is. This is a 'one size fits all' approach from D.C. We have never allowed the federal government to make curriculum decisions in our local schools.”
