<span style="font-size: larger;">Governor Snyder has joined with Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan to fully support the implementation of Common Core standards that includes, a huge expansion of unproven early education standards and spending at the state level.</span><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">It was reported in MIRS today that &quot;Gov. Rick SNYDER had some strong words today on two subjects that are hanging in the balance in the state budget negotiations.</span><br />
&nbsp;<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">During a town hall meeting on education in Detroit today, Snyder said he thinks the Common Core State Standards are 'a good thing,' and he continued to lay out his arguments for more funding for early childhood education in Michigan.&quot; U.S. Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan was with Snyder at the Town Hall.</span><br />
&nbsp;<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">Arne Duncan, like his boss, President Obama, is fully supportive of, and working hard to implement a full federal takeover of public education.</span><br />
