‘Most people feel as I do, who oppose Common Core. I don’t care if the standards are written by Aristotle ... they’re wrong’

Will’s Take: Jeb Bush Is ‘a Genuine Hero of Conservative Education Reform’ (National Review Online)

On Tuesday’s Special Report, George Will said critics of Jeb Bush’s support for Common Core—rigorous educational standards imposed by the government—are talking past one another.

“Mr. Bush is a genuine hero of conservative education reform—voucher system in Florida, charter schools,” Will said. “Most people feel as I do, who oppose Common Core. I don’t care if the standards are written by Aristotle, perfected by Shakespeare, approved by Newton, and endorsed by Jefferson. They’re wrong.”
