BATON ROUGE, La., June 18 (UPI) -- A top Louisiana school official accused Gov. Bobby Jindal of playing politics Wednesday after the governor said he is pulling the state out of the Common Core.
Chas Roemer, chairman of the state board of elementary and secondary education, and John White, the state's schools superintendent, said Louisiana is committed to implementing the Common Core Standards. They said the governor does not have the authority to act unilaterally.
