[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]People and organizations do that all the time. You sign with an architect to create plans for an addition before you've seen the following plan. The military signs with an weapons manufacturer to develop a new weapon before the weapon is finished. In both of those cases, you still have the option of saying "no thank you" if the final product (the plans, not the addition or the weapon) is not to your liking. This was the same thing. Texas was asked whether they wanted to be part of the coalition that was creating the standards. They said no, which is fair enough, but yes would also have been a reasonable thing to say.

It is hardly the same thing.  And, if he had signed, his signature would have been touted as a sign that he supported Common Core--before he had seen it.[/quote]

People who read what he signed would have seen it as an agreement that the state of Texas was interested in helping develop Common Core State Standards.[/quote]
