The
concept of national education standards for education has been around
for ever. It is a bad idea and frankly is blatantly unconstitutional.
Nowhere in the Constitution does the federal government have any role to
play in education. Nonetheless, it has dabbled in education for many
years and is increasingly attempting to impose its will on the states.
For example George W. Bush's "No Child Left Behind" and Obama's "Race To
The Top". Although in the making for some time the Obama
administration has agressively pushed the concept of "Common Core". The
linked article provides a good introduction to Common Core and should
frighten anyone who believes that comprehensive/quality education is
important for all of American's children. Note the brute way its
advocates treat those who disagree. Their tactic is a common one
associated with those who adhere to the "Progressive" way of thinking.
In other words - do what we tell you -we are smarter than you and know
what's best - now shut up and sit down! We have a program to implement
whether you want it or not (Kind of reminds you of how Obamacare was
made into law and is now being imposed on an unhappy public, doesn't
it.). http://freedomoutpost.com/2013/09/maryland-parent-robert-small-arrested-for-challenging-common-core/
I will be sharing more on this topic in the future. For now read this
item and be sure to read the links, too. Parents and grandparents need
to get educated and take appropriate action to ensure their
children/grandchildren are not indoctrinated by Government sponsored
propaganda, a subtle but distinct component of Common Core. If this
topic concerns you please share this information with everyone you know,
especially those with children.
