National curriculum plan may face challenge (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/may/10/obamas-education-plan-gets-closer-look/) 

Common Core national education standards have been heavily promoted by the Obama administration.
...
Only Alaska, Texas, Nebraska and Virginia have resisted Common Core,
....
Backed by Gov. Nikki Haley,... lawmakers in South Carolina are pushing legislation that would withdraw their state from the system.


Nikki's on the road to redemption.

...[Common Core] standards have garnered strong support from many high-profile Republicans. Govs. Mitch Daniels of Indiana, Bill Haslam of Tennessee, Chris Christie of New Jersey and others have enthusiastically backed them.
