WASHINGTON, D.C. – Common Core opponents can add a big name to their ranks now that U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham has officially come out against the one-size-fits-all math and English K-12 learning standards.

Today, the two-term Republican senator from South Carolina is expected to introduce a resolution that calls “on the federal Department of Education to stop strong-arming states into adopting the standards by making federal grants contingent upon them,” DailyCaller.com reports.

Graham’s resolution will also reiterate that education is a state and local responsibility – not a federal one – and will call on the U.S. government to stop providing incentives for states to adopt the nationalized learning standards, reports TheBlaze.com.

The senator believes the Common Core experiment started out as a state-led effort but was corrupted when the Obama administration used stimulus funds to entice cash-strapped states into agreeing to the K-12 overhaul.

In his resolution, Graham also warns that national standards – even unofficial ones like Common Core – will eventually lead to a national curriculum, and they will alter the college-admissions process so profoundly that even private schools and home schools will be forced into complying with them, TheBlaze.com reports. (“Curriculum” refers to the lesson plans and instructional materials teachers use to train students in their state’s learning standards.)

If the U.S. Senate passes the resolution – which is not a given – it won’t carry any legal significance. School districts in the 45 Common Core-aligned states will continue revamping their curriculum and standardized tests to comply with the new learning expectations.

However, Graham’s resolution will help raise awareness of the issue at the national level, and may help convince governors who are on the fence about the standards to push for a delay or an outright repeal.
