Missouri Judge Rules Common Core Testing Consortium Fees UNCONSTITUTIONAL

The Daily Caller reports:

A judge in Jefferson City, Mo. ruled on Tuesday that the state’s payment of more than $4 million in membership fees as part of a standardized testing consortium is illegal.

The consortium is the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium, one of two testing large groups seeking to create Common Core-aligned standardized tests that will be shared among multiple states.

Circuit court Judge Daniel R. Green, an elected Republican, ordered that Missouri won’t be among the states paying fees.

The Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium “is an unlawful interstate compact to which the U.S. Congress has never consented, whose existence and operation violate” Article I, § 10 of the federal Constitution, the judge wrote.

Common Core in more un-American than you think.
