Gov. Bobby Jindal, R-La., a vocal critic of the federal government’s role in education, sued the Obama administration Wednesday over its implementation of the Common Core in Louisiana.

“Common Core is the latest effort by big government disciples to strip away state rights and put Washington, D.C. in control of everything,” Jindal said in a statement.

During a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference in March, Jindal slammed the administration, calling its education policies “cynical, immoral and hypocritical.”
