A national effort to unify education standards across
America and help American children compete more effectively with students in
better-performing nations is actually a dumbing-down of America’s schools,
takes away local control, handcuffs good teachers and opens the door for
ideological manipulation of our kids.
Common Core was developed in recent years as a means of
establishing nationwide learning standards, and the vast majority of states
signed on, even before the standards were spelled out. And critics of the plan
say the emerging reality of Common Core is far different from what was promised.
“It was sold to the states and the federal government on
a series of slogans. The slogans were that it would be state-led, that the
standards would be evidence-based, internationally benchmarked, that is on par
with what other high-performing countries teach and that the standards would be
rigorous,” said Emmett McGroarty, education director at the Preserve Innocence
Project.
“All these governors of both parties and school chiefs
signed on to this idea. The problem is they signed on to the idea before the
standards were written and before the assessments were developed. The
assessments, by the way, still haven’t been developed. The ultimate product did
not match up with the promise.”…..To Read More….
There are forty five stated goals of
the Communist Party to take over America.
- Goal 17, get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
- Goal 36, infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
