Why the concern over the "common Core" science standards?

The common core science standards in the news , are caught up in the political fight about climate change and also evolution. The CC part is ecspecially important to Kochs/AFP/ National Chamber of Commerce etc. Essentially, the cc science is being labeled as alamist, simply because it is included in the standard.
I would suggest this is also the reason for governor of Wisconsin and the legislative majority raising it to "issue" status. For a look at what the objections are, this piece by the far right Heartland Institute is useful.
