Libertarian Adrian Wyllie Vows to Repeal Common Core

Over this past weekend, gubernatorial candidate Adrian Wyllie, the Libertarian nominee challenging Gov. Rick Scott this year, focused on education and came out swinging at Common Core.

School districts in Florida spend on average $12,000 per student annually. Some Florida school districts have budgets that exceed $1,000,000,000 ($1 billion), Wyllie noted on Saturday. Is the problem really that were not spending enough money on public education or is it that were not spending that money properly? The solution is to give parents the option to choose what is best for their own children and to create an environment where affordable, free-market education options can flourish.

I will fight to repeal Common Core, and I will reject or nullify any unconstitutional federal usurpation of our childrens education, Wyllie added. My team and I are working on a comprehensive education policy that will improve education quality, reduce cost, and offer you more choices when it comes to educating your children.
