Jeb Bush digs heels in on Common Core because civil rights and stuff (Boy, is he ludicrous!)

Sigh. So, Jeb Bush continues to dig his heels in on Common Core. This happened on Thursday morning:

In his education summit keynote today, @JebBush will take on critics: "the debate over the Common Core State Standards has been troubling."

Why? Civil rights or something. And because China. No, seriously.

.@JebBush said education is "a civil rights crisis in every sense of the term."

Come on.

.@JebBush Debate over the #commoncore standards "troubling." Says no one in China is debating about whether expectations should be lower.

Double come on. Even a Common Core supporter isn’t buying that one.

Seriously. Who is to blame for that idiocy?

Jeb Bush must be getting his focus group messages on #CommonCore from same group who assured Cantor "all is well".

Amen.

Update:

Of course @jebbush finds debate over Common Core "troubling." Big Govt control freaks are always troubled by dissent. http://t.co/P6xmTVKsbc
