Federal law mandates a free and appropriate education for ALL. Common Core constricts that.

How do the Common Core standards restrict a FAPE for all? Did school districts in states that adopted the Common Core standards used to provide a FAPE, but then somehow, for some reason, the Common Core standards made them stop doing it? Do school districts in states that did not adopt the Common Core standards provide a FAPE in ways that school districts in states that did are unable to do, for some reason?

+1 And by the ^PP's definition, there should be no standards, and each child should be given his/her own individualized curriculum, tailored to each child's learning style. Oh, wouldn't that be wonderful! I think that's called home schooling.

NP here. I think the point the other poster is trying to make is that the CC stands require a lot more language learning in math. This will impact many SN kids. They will need further supports to access the curriculum (which is their legal right) but the school districts fight the parents who try to get these appropriate and legally required supports for their children.

Which Common Core standards require a lot more language learning in math?

And if the SN students need further supports, but the school districts fight the parents who try to get these appropriate and legally-required supports for their children, that's not a problem with the Common Core standards.
