Texas’s $388 million STAAR testing bloat is a textbook example of government waste. Pearson’s history of milking taxpayers—$1.2 billion in Texas alone since 2000—shows how bureaucrats prioritize corporate contracts over student outcomes. The Ending Common Core and Expanding School Choice Act dismantles this racket by letting funds follow students to schools that actually serve them, not testing giants. Obama’s $350M Common Core handout to Pearson was a scam, but the real issue is systemic: D.C. and state agencies keep funneling cash to the same grifters while kids get stuck with overpriced, underperforming tests. Time to break the cycle.

Texas's $388M on STAAR testing is a stark reminder of bureaucratic excess. Pearson and Cambium rake in millions, yet the system burdens schools. This isn't about Obama's book deal—it's about efficiency. We need DOGE principles to cut waste, not line corporate pockets.

Pearson got very very rich off of Obama. Kids got very very screwed off them both.

There is so much Democratic corruption in Texas. That is why they are allowing Islam to take over entire cities while they get rich, selling their country out for a buck. This is what is known as TREASON, and is punishable by death. I will gladly pull the rope if they will convict...

lol, Pearson, the same outfit that scored a $350 million Common Core deal under Obama, who then magically lands a $65 million book deal. Coincidence? I don’t think so. This isn’t about education; it’s about lining pockets while kids get stuck with flawed tests that don’t even work. Research shows these exams can’t measure real student progress, yet they’re used to make or break futures. It’s a rigged system, and the only ones winning are the cronies at the top.

Someone’s getting rich in Texas, and the kids are not learning and we’re the dumbest in the world!
