Common Core & Education

Please, folks get mad!  Do something!  It is totally unacceptable for the federal government to dictate what our children learn.  If this thing takes hold, total tyranny will eventually follow.  Read history.  Quote:  "While the Common Core program is overtly directed at public, private and home elementary and secondary education, it quietly captures higher education as well, since control of the high school exits provides control of the college entrances.  Additionally, a bill now in Congress carries the Obama administration proposal to regulate private colleges that provide career training; that plus Common Core represents a fair start toward total federal control of U.S. education.  It seems telling that so comprehensive and far-reaching a shift in a democracy is not seen as newsworthy."   And, "It’s amusing, after a fashion, that the Progressives so enamored of "diversity" are so dead set against any diversity in educating citizens.  The suspicious will use "brainwash" in lieu of "education" here, and if one recalls the works of John Dewey, the patron saint of the progressive education movement, the avowed goal is exactly to turn out useful and amenable citizens, and expressly not to educate critical thinkers who tend to be troublesome.  Regardless, Common Core is here; even a number of Republican governors have adopted it.  We may as well relax and enjoy it..."   http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2014/11/common_core_seizes_control_of_future_internet_education.html

Read this and remember as you do that the infamous Weather Underground leader, Bill Ayers, helped construct administration's current education policy.  And remember, too, that it was at Ayers' Chicago home that Obama's political career was launched.   http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2014/11/liberals_arent_liberal.html

Unions fight for themselves not students.  Most teachers unions I have read about are self serving...not necessarily the teachers but union leadership.  That is certainly the case here in Pennsylvania.  http://humanevents.com/2014/10/08/teacher-indoctrination/

Spending on education is much higher than generally understood by average citizens.  Check out this item to get an understanding of the facts...unions are a big factor.  http://www.forbes.com/sites/realspin/2014/10/06/how-much-do-we-spend-on-education/

Does this example of Common Core math make a bit of sense to you?  http://dailysignal.com/2014/10/02/6-steps-subtract-2-numbers-common-core-homework-one-picture/


For those who do not think progressivism and political correctness has not infected the education of our children.   http://www.leanrightamerica.org/uncategorized/3rd-grade-handout-mt-rushmore-presidents-were-racists/
