Should Social Studies Have a National Core Curriculum?

After much discussion and debate the California Council for the Social Studies adopted a policy and is sending letters to prominent policymakers that call for the development and adoption of Common Core Standards in social studies.

The National Council for the Social Studies "hopes" that "this letter will be used as an example, and inspire you to take similar action."

Should Delaware's social studies educators be lobbying for national, Common Core Standards? Why or why not?
