  • In an April 2014 op-ed, Rick Santorum expressed his opposition to Common Core Standards. He wrote, "What troubles me the most is how fast these standards were adopted and how little transparency there was in the process. Not one state legislature voted on the Common Core standards. In the forty-five states where they have been adopted, it was by an act of the governor, the state secretary of education, or the state board of education. The people most affected by this enormous policy change—parents and teachers—never had a chance to weigh in."[2]
  • In March 2005, Santorum said, "Anyone who expresses anything other than the dominant worldview is shunned and booted from the academy. My reading of the science is there's a legitimate debate. My feeling is let the debate be had."[5]
  • During a 2000 debate, "Santorum said he favored providing federal funding that communities could use for school vouchers," according to Philly.com.[6]
