With schools continuing the transition to Common Core, areas across the country have seen residents and some political leaders come out against the educational standards. Representatives from local school systems said that they have not heard the same reaction from parents or politicians, while from an educational viewpoint they had mostly positive comments regarding Common Core. On the other hand, the founder of the Lanier Tea Party Patriots, Mike Scupin, said that he believes there is a large contingent against the standards, and that the issue is only going to get bigger.
