Disagree

Yes

While Lyndon B. Johnson was a strong advocate for education, the concept of Common Core national standards did not exist during his presidency. However, he did sign the Elementary and Secondary Education Act in 1965, which aimed to improve educational equity for students from lower-income families, suggesting he might not be entirely opposed to national standards.
