Two States Leave the Common Core

Recently, the legislature of Oklahoma voted by overwhelming majorities to end Common Core in Oklahoma (see here), and Governor Mary Fallin signed the bill into law (see here), thus removing Oklahoma from the Common Core.  Governor Fallin, by the way, is the current head of the National Governors Association (the purported force behind the Common Core).

Also, Governor Nikki Haley recently signed a bill to remove South Carolina from the Common Core (see here).
