COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio House panel has passed a Republican proposal to repeal Common Core learning standards in the state, sending it on to the full House.

The powerful House Rules and Reference Committee passed the measure 7-2 without making changes Wednesday, a day after the GOP won resounding election victories.

The hearing came as school districts across Ohio work to implement the standards, which are supported by a diverse coalition including teachers’ unions and community and business groups.

The bill’s sponsors say the legislation responds to widespread discontent from parents, teachers and communities about the standards.

Sponsoring Reps. Matt Huffman of Lima and Andy Thompson of Marietta have said Ohio made a mistake four years ago in pursuing the standards, and their legislation would reclaim state control over the process.
