Linh Ta of the Des Moines Register questioned the Governor about his disavowment of the Common Core in education and asked what steps he is taking to ensure students graduate from Louisiana high schools, ready to successfully enter the work force. Governor Jindal, who opposes the Common Core program, said education is not the Federal Government’s job. “You wouldn’t want the Federal Government defining American history standards, so why in the world would we want a one size fits all approach to ELA and math?,” stated Governor Jindal. “The best form of accountability is trusting moms and dads who know their kids needs best. When you give parents choices they’ll find the best fit for their kids and competition works.”
