First....Texas did not adopt Common Core so they are free to do as they wish. Only 45 states did, and some are pushing back.
As for not having a choice....that is completely incorrect. Parents are perfectly free to pull their children from public schools and either put them in private schools that do not adhere to Common Core or homeschool them. There are ALWAYS choices if people look hard enough.
And in a sensible world those options would be taken away. One nation, one standard. Just like with anything else your free to go above and beyond but they should know the basics. That's one of the problems with private school but fortunately it doesn't seem to happen much in reality.
