Teaching, Educating, Propagandizing

Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana is suing the federal government over Common Core.  http://dailysignal.com/2014/08/27/bobby-jindal-suit-says-obama-scheme-forced-common-core-education-standards-louisiana-states/?

And for good reasons.  For more read this.   http://www.wnd.com/2014/08/heres-your-ticket-out-of-common-core/

And this, too.  Common Core history is rewritten history.   http://www.wnd.com/2014/08/common-core-gives-new-twist-to-u-s-history/

The purpose of Common Core. Quote:  "Will the close reading strategy ultimately make all students regardless of their intelligence, background, or skill set equal in their ability to comprehend complex texts, and equal in their ability to pass state exams? Ignoring children’s prior knowledge or acting as if they have no prior knowledge is phase one of dumbing down. Calvin Coolidge famously said “Don’t expect to build up the weak by tearing down the strong.” Are the “experts” who gave us Common Core trying to do just that?"   http://www.americanthinker.com/2014/08/common_core_endgame_social_justice_.html

What ever happened to the vaunted academic freedom of speech and openness to differing ideas/beliefs on university campuses?   http://www.redstate.com/2014/08/28/you-will-be-made-to-care-4/

The difference between teachers and educators.  See which one you prefer.   http://www.westernjournalism.com/common-core-objectives-changing-children-zombies/

Is censorship a function to be engaged in by educational institutions at any level?   http://www.naturalnews.com/046611_Wikipedia_Truth_Wiki_internet_censorship.html 

This senator says abolish Common Core.  Quote:  "As a U.S. Senator, I’ve seen the federal government make a mess of everything it touches."

This activity and this teacher are way out of line.  Facts in the case she uses in the classrom are not yet established yet she decides what they are to assure the kids acquire the right view, her view.  http://unfilteredpatriot.com/alabama-teacher-re-enacts-michael-brown-shooting-with-students/
