Where Do the Potential GOP 2016 Candidates Stand on Common Core?

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has been surging in some recent Republican 2016 polls, but is rousing a new controversy in his home state, this time regarding Common Core.

Walker’s budget proposal calls for doing away with the Smarter Balanced test, the exam given to students in grades three through eight under Common Core, sparking objections from some school administrators in his state. However, for parents and teachers around the country opposed to the standards, Walker’s positions could bode well in Republican primaries — unlike those of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who has reiterated his support for Common Core. Meanwhile, other likely Republican candidates have done an about-face on the issue.
