"Gov. Bryant's veto of a bill that 93 Legislative Republicans supported ensures that Common Core will remain in Mississippi schools," Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves said. "SB 2161 ensured that student privacy would be protected, prohibited school districts from administering psychological or socio-emotional surveys, put in state law that PARCC test could not be mandated by the State Department of Education, and created a group of Mississippians (of which the Governor had more appointments than anyone) to create a set of high standards for Mississippi school children.
To put this in simple terms, those that support Common Core are celebrating tonight."

The regalia of Tater's temper tantrum for RINO incrementalism on full display.
Pulling out Tate right before you shoot your wad doesn't guarantee there will be no pregnancy. They taught you that at Millsaps, didn't they?
Didn't approve your comment because of one sentence, said STFU. Rest of comment was ok.
8:09pm, your comment would be hilarious only if I knew fully what you meant by it. What does the figurative pulling out before the expulsion of a wad have to do with Tate, other than what his parents should have done!?!?
Didn't Phil fail the third grade ?
These comments get raunchier and more crude every week. Sad thing is, I bet most of the people posting this stuff will be sitting in church on Sunday and then posting nasty stuff again next week.

Apparently Tate was not included as a Common Core payee like the Gov'ner. I'm sure the GOP will include him next time. Patience Tate, Patience, your check is coming.
Kingfish must have multiple personalities. Some days any nasty word might appear here and some days he plays librarian and will slap your hand with a foot-ruler.
Key word 'ruler'.
I give an "Amen" to 8:39 AM
8:39 and 11:16 - Sorry if you were offended.
Poor 'lil Tater...just didn't get his way. Bless it. He just needs to pull up his training pants & get used to it. Four more years of this 'lil Tate. You may tell your Republican senators when to poop and when to get off the pot. But, there's anoder Sheriff in town & he's the Gubner! Bless 'lil Tater. When you learn to play fair (like not bossing the senators around), then maybe...just maybe someone will play fair ball with you. I know sweetie, it's a tough lesson to learn. But, maybe it'll make you nicer when you get grown up.
10:40 is right. This way, Bryant can say he's for removing common core. Exactly how much is the testing contract and who have those companies supported? Follow the money- it's not about curriculum but money.
For me, its about the children. I am lost as to how this bill was worse than no bill. I'm sure the Gov had his reasons, but sometimes half a loaf is better than no loaf, at least until next session.
The problem with your 'half a loaf' theory is this: In succeeding years, the legislature tends to look around and say, "We already have half a loaf; let's move along to other stuff. We can revisit this later (never)."
