Tomorrow night, CNN will bring yet another GOP debate to our TV screens, while tonight, Fox News has devoted its programming to town halls with the remaining GOP candidates. Greta Van Susteren was up first, setting aside “On the Record” to spend an hour with Ohio Gov. John Kasich and a studio audience made up largely of university students.
Kasich made it clear he wouldn’t be promising free college, although he did advocate for community colleges as an inexpensive path toward higher education. But K through 12? Kasich seemed stumped by a question on Common Core: Why are conservatives so opposed to it?
Kasich on why the right hates Common Core: "I don't know, I guess it got on the Internet."

Or maybe they hate it because it got into their children’s classrooms and they’ve experienced it first-hand.

@greta @JohnKasich @FoxNews If he believed in high standards, he wouldn't support common core. In a word it's crap. Another no vote reason

@greta @JohnKasich @FoxNews Common Core = Common Standards = Standardized Tests = School Evaluation = Teaching to the Test

@greta @JohnKasich @FoxNews He has no clue what Common Core is, his children are older. Fed DOE is a huge waste of taxpayer money.

@greta @JohnKasich @FoxNews Common core is not "high standard"; Common core is TESTS where companies make mega dollars! MEGA!

@greta @JohnKasich @FoxNews both he and common core incomprehensible.

@greta @JohnKasich @FoxNews common core is a progressive/liberal social experiment perpetrated against our children. Ohio education failing.

@greta @JohnKasich @FoxNews Common Core is an educational disaster. Do you have any idea what Common Core is really like?

There’s a good way to find out if he does, and while we’re at it, we might as well subject all the candidates.
