of his Koch backers, and kill Common Core standards? Many districts have invested a LOT into these. The new spring standardized test (the Badger or some such name) is based on CC, as well the teacher evaluations are based partially on those test scores. What will happen now?

So whatever gets him on that path, he'll do it. I watched his victory speech tonight and it was his kick-off for the run for the nomination. A few references to Wisconsin, but more references to the nation, the troops in harms way, and so on. The stage had Wisconsin and US flags behind him, but there was a huge US flag prominently displayed that sent a clear message. All the was missing was the little bomber jacket with President Walker embroidered on the breast. This dick is off and running.
