Common Core-In Your Schools

 
New York state teachers frustrated with Common Core began “occupying” the steps of the state Education Department in Albany Monday night, the Albany Times Union reported.

The teachers took on a populist theme similar to what the Occupy movement took up in 2011 when it camped along Wall Street and later other parts of the United States to protest what demonstrators viewed as too much corporate power and income inequality.

Claim: Common Core is a federal takeover of the public education system.


Fact: The National Governors Association along with the Council of Chief State School Officers spearheaded the effort to develop the Common Core State Standards. It was formed by state officials, not federal officials.


The Obama administration in 2010 made states' participation in Common Core one of the requirements for receiving Race to the Top grants, but Common Core itself was not developed at the federal level and is not under control of the Obama Administration.

Taken in its entirety, your own quote above, and the simple naked fact that Common Core is specifically a Math and English standards program, totally and completely destroys the BS ideological claims made in your own original post.

You were lied to

Keep on digging

I thought The Holy Bible said something about wasted seed that would discourage this RWCJ stuff...
 
Looks like myself and Bobby Jindal know a little more than you, Bub.

Common Core: Bobby Jindal says Obama forcing a national curriculum Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal charges that the US Department of Education is strong-arming states into accepting base-line standards once viewed as voluntary. Backers say that Common Core is voluntary, because some states declined to adopt it.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) sued the US Department of Education Wednesday, accusing it of violating federal law and the US Constitution by strong-arming states into adopting the Common Core State Standards and assessments.

Maybe a little higher up in the food chain, Fixer.
 
 
Much has been made of the nonsensical Math lessons courtesy of Common Core and the elimination of the great classics of literature in favor of informative, progressive pieces. However, one lesson that should concern Americans comes courtesy of Barack Obama himself. His biography has been, not surprisingly, designated as an approved piece of Common Core literature. As a result, 4th graders in some parts of America are being taught a narrative as reality that we have witnessed the President and his lackey media push over the last 5 years. Our children are being taught that America is, at its core, a racist nation.

Mein Kampf comes to Common Core.
 
I want someone to show me a law, court ruling, note from Barack's Mom, SOMETHING that proves that the Federal Government has ANY right to be involved with the Public School System on any level under any circumstance.
 
What we now have is Government Indoctrination Camps under the guise of "education" Education in what? This to me is the Hitler Youth all over again.

Someone forgot to tell Jeb the Federal Gov't isn't involved with Common Core.
 
 
“I am for higher standards,” Bush said, declining to utter the politically charged phrase himself, but dispelling some of the more outlandish misconceptions about the program. “I am for creating real restrictions on the federal government’s role in this so you can alleviate people’s fears that you’re going to have some kind of control by the federal government of content, of curriculum, or even standards. I’m against all that.”
“I’m against the federal government being involved in demanding that assessments are done in a certain way,” he added.
