Opt-Out: Believe the DNC and Hillary – OR – John King, the Secretary of Education?
These are facts, not opinions.
Secretary of Education John King will financially penalize schools and districts when parents opt-out of high stakes standardized testing for their children. John King is appointed by President Obama.
The DNC and Hillary will guarantee the rights of parents opt-out of high stakes standardized tests with no penalty for children, parents, schools or teachers.
