Excellent Observation from a Reader on Common Core Standards

We previously wrote asking why Common Core Standards were copyrighted by the NGA and CCSSO.  After all, if they were state led and state standards currently aren't copyrighted, why would copyrighting occur with these standards?

The disclaimers might be even a more important aspect of the NGA/CCSSO public license.

A reader responded:

Basically, if your student completes 12 years of CCSS and is NOT college ready, the controlling organizations cannot be sued for this outcome even though these are the claims being made to sell it to uninformed legislators and taxpayers. 

Stunning.
