Backlash against Common Core
Townhall – Phyllis Schlafly –
5/14/2013
Common Core (CC) is the
attempt of Barack Obama's Department of Education to force all states and
schools to adopt specified national education standards for each grade level
that will dictate what all kids learn and don't learn.
Common Core means federal
control of school curriculum. Federal control will replace all curriculum
decisions by state and local school boards, state legislatures, parents and
even Congress because Obama bypassed Congress by using $4 billion of Stimulus
money to promote Common Core.
Public schools must obey the
fed's dictates, also the curriculum of charter schools, private schools,
religious schools, Catholic schools and homeschooling.
The control mechanism is
the tests.
CC is so costly to the
states (ESTIMATED AT $15 BILLION FOR
EACH STATE FOR RETRAINING TEACHERS AND PURCHASE OF COMPUTERS FOR ALL KIDS TO
TAKE THE TESTS.
Common Core means government
agencies will gather and store all sorts of private information on every
schoolchild into a longitudinal database from birth through all levels of
schooling, plus giving government the right to share and exchange this nosy information
with other government and private agencies.
This type of surveillance and control of individuals is the mark of a TOTALITARIAN GOVERNMENT.
It is not "state" written;
it is a national project created in secret without any input from teachers or
state legislatures. It is not "internationally benchmarked"; that
never happened.
CC advocates admit the
standards cannot be changed or errors corrected because they are already
printed and copyrighted by the private owners such as the (BILL) GATES FOUNDATION.
Bills to repeal CC have been
filed in Oklahoma , Kansas ,
Michigan , Missouri ,
Alabama , South Dakota
and Georgia
Indiana Governor Mike Pence
just signed a law to "pause" the CC implementation and hold public
hearings.
BLOGGER COMMENT: If new computers are required, why is
everything already printed under copyright?
Just change the page on the computer—that’s a lot more efficient than re-printing
incorrect books.
