Question - What do you know about The Student Success Act HR 5?

I'm posting the link to an internet radio program that discusses HR 5 & how it is going to help prevent further overreaching of the federal gov't into local & state educational choices while the states fight to get out of the datamining & lowered standards of the Common Core.

Interviewed during this program are 

"Dawn Wildman (California) and Wayne Wood (Alabama). 
Dawn is Founder of CURE (Citizens United For Responsible Education) which is a group of volunteers throughout the country fighting for our children's education.
Wayne Wood is a Pastor and former High School Government/Econ/History Teacher and also a Veteran  who have raised students to aspire for excellence."

The Student Success Act (H.R. 5) will restore local control, support effective teachers, reduce the federal footprint, and empower parents.

The bill was Introduced on June 6th & is due for Mark Up on Wed June 19th - this is a much needed bill
