Jesus dude, I'm not picking on alabama (this time) I just picked somewhere that wasn't west coast and isn't known as an industry hub like silicon valley or the tech triangle in NC to discuss nationwide standards.
Broad impacts seem to be a difficult concept here.......
Just out of curiosity, what do you think happens to public state universities when budgets and curricula are determined by local politicians and no longer held to nationwide standards? God knows no nutjob ever got elected in alabama with fvcked up ideas on education. (See NOW I'm picking on alabama). Right now the universities are little more immune to that crap than grade schools. At a certain point, it's not going to up to the teachers any more how good of a school they can help create. The DOE keeps impartial education away from the idiocies of the ballet box for the most part. There's a reason for that.
