Gov. Kasich to opponents of Common Core: FOAD.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich believes opposition to the Common Core State Standards Initiative is “hysteria,” and does not expect his state’s legislature to attempt a repeal in this legislative session.

“I don’t expect anything like that,” Kasich told TheBlaze. “When you study the issue, you separate the hysteria from the reality.”

Kasich, a Republican who has been mentioned as a potential 2016 presidential contender, said his state would proceed in further implementing the standards.

“We have carried it out. We have higher standards. We want our kids to perform better and do better,” Kasich said. “The standards are determined by our local school boards. There is total local control. I think there has been a hysteria about this that is not well founded.”
