When their liberal policies show signs of complete failure, there’s really only one thing left for progressives to do: Create a task force.
Admitting that Common Core has left students, teachers, and parents “confused and anxious,” New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced the creation of a new task force designed to contemplate a total “reboot” of the failing educational standards.
Apparently, Cuomo believes a big-government task force of Common Core advocates will somehow be capable of “fixing” the problems of a big-government takeover of education.
In the video announcing Cuomo’s plan to save Common Core from itself, the governor claims the biggest problem with the new standards has been their “implementation,” not their convoluted and confusing approach toward education.
“There are a lot of good ideas – the key is making them work,” Cuomo says in the video, quoting his father.
His grand plan to boost Common Core’s popularity using a task force, however, wasn’t well received on social media. Within hours, the Tweet marking the official announcement became a sounding board for frustrated parents, teachers, and students.
Next step for a politician trying to sell the public something it doesn’t want>>> @NYGovCuomo — Carole Gilman (@CaroleGilman) September 28, 2015
@NYGovCuomo Almost like Common Core was one giant leftist Government overreach. Andy’s solution? MORE Government https://t.co/tDDyYtQUmW — — Bonk — (@BonkPolitics) September 28, 2015
@NYGovCuomo @NYSchoolSupts looks like commission is stacked with #CommonCore cheerleaders. What is the point of this again? — Sharon (@SharonSloomis) September 28, 2015
@NYGovCuomo Why? It’s not worth fixing. But what would I know I’ve only been teaching 17 years. #edchat — Jim DeRosa (@JDeRo23) September 28, 2015
@NYGovCuomo AND only TWO classroom teachers! Your task force is a joke.Include the experts,the teachers actually implementing the standards. — Hether Gillette (@hether_gillette) September 28, 2015
@NYGovCuomo Oh good, so we are scrapping #CommonCore, right? — Tim Farley (@tfarley1969) September 28, 2015
Liberal fans of Common Core apparently aren’t terribly quick learners…

…No wonder they aren’t very good at creating education standards.
