Republican legislators in the Alabama State Senate and House have proposed bills to repeal the board of education\u2019s decision to approve Common Core, which State Sen. Dick Brebaker warned [extremist delinked]would \u201cgive the federal government a way to drive the education agenda here in Alabama.\u201d <\/font><\/p>\n

Even though 45 governors have endorsed the need for such standards and are ready to implement them<\/strong>, the teabirchers have decided this is where they’re going to stake their claim for liberty and free enterprise and lower government spending.
