"Race to the Top" and Alaska

So apparently Obama's "Race to the Top" education campaign is to reward schools who preform well with cash incentives and to remove limits to charter and alternative schools. I don't understand why Alaska WOULDN'T participate when Palin says herself that Alaskans want to leave school curriculums in the localities where they exist. My "stupid" question for her would be to ask how Obama's plan doesn't encourage the same ideas. If Alaska has the best schools because they encourage individuality, then what possible way does Obama's plan interfere with their way of life? All they're doing is turning down more money.
