The rally’s title, Buck the Core, was chosen to focus Idahoans on the failures of Common Core education reforms and on the damage caused by nonprofit foundations that influence education policy.

Organizers of the event say it’s time for Idahoans to send the message to their elected officials that federal and state micromanagement of education is not working. Interference by non-profit foundations is not working. It’s time to return to common sense and local control and to let teachers do their jobs.

All citizens who have concerns about education policies in Idaho are encouraged to attend this important rally.

What makes this event unique is that organizers have planned for wide representation by all Idahoans by making it possible for everyone to attend even if they cannot be present in person.
