The new public education standard known as Common Core was adopted by 46 states, including Arkansas, starting in 2010.

Since then, three states have passed laws to block implementation, including Oklahoma. As Jacqueline Froelich reports, a movement is also growing in Arkansas to repeal Common Core, led by Karen Lamoreaux.
