all education.

There's yelling and screaming from all sides of the political spectrum about the educational

mandate known best as the Common Core State St andards Initiative (CCSSI). It raises a

lot more than emotions; it's a nationwide debate. Proponents tout

(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzKO5wxwFGw)CCSSI as the greatest achievement

since the Enlightenment, while opponents (http://www.youtube.com/watch?

v=coRNJluF2O4&feature=plcp)compare it to the Dark Ages, a deliberate dumbing down

of America (http://deliberatedumbingdown.com/MomsPDFs/DDDoA.sml.pdf), asCharlotte Iserbyt would say. Iserbyt was the Reagan admin whistleblower who struck a

major blow to the technological forerunner to the tracking and data-mining age.

So what is Common Core?

Common Core is federally-led education introduced in the Obama administration's 2009

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act ( "stimulus package") through a contest called

Race to the Top (RT TT). States could apply and compete for federal grant money. Four

billion in federal taxpayer dollars were offered with a catch:

Awards in Race to the Top will go to States that are leading the way with ambitious

yet achievable plans for implementing coherent, compelling, and comprehensive

education reform. Race to t he Top winners will help trail-blaze effective re forms and

provide examples for States and local school districts throughout the country to followas they too are hard at work on reforms that can t ransform our schools for decades to

come.

Out with the Bush administration's "No Child Left Behind (NCLB)," criticized

(http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-

dyn/content/article/2008/03/28/AR2008032802976.html)for its "high-stakes" strategy

of always teaching to the te st. In with the Common Core, a uniform set of standards and

curricula that, according to their critics, ratchet up

(http://heritageaction.com/2013/04/common-core-federal-overreach-into-the-

classroom/)the role of government in education, as well as student data collection, teacher

evaluations, and NCLB "empathetic" learning. The result is a Fed-led e d cocktail

constructed on the premise ( http://whatiscommoncore.wordpress.com/2013/12/05 /dr-

christopher-tienken-explains-pisa-and-real-education-beyond-pisa/)that our publicschools are low performing, broken, and lacking the kind of rigor necessary for students to

compete in the global marketplace.

Forty- five stat es and t he District of Columbia jumped onboard with CCSSI, intent t o raise

the roof beam high on rigor to meet international benchmarks.

Best perk? A student could be in Ohio on Tuesday. Wednesday, the family moves t o

Nevada. T heoretically, he'd pick up in math on the same next page. Wow, sign me up for

that! And the online tech tools they're brilliant. Click on a standard. ProQuest K12 from

Common Core was well pitched (http://eagnews.org/common-core-was-state-led-look-at-

the-groups-past-website-and-you-be-the-judge/) as state-led and "voluntary." Even

according to the US Department of Education (DOE), public education is described as

"...primarily a state and local responsibility in the United States... it is states and

communities, as well as public and private organizations of all kinds, that establish schools

and colleges, develop curricula, and determine re quirements for enrollment and

graduation."

Yet it's the DOE's actual role

(http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/curriculum/2012/02/a_new_white_paper_raises.html)

in education that prompted opponents like Diane Ravitch, a two- year vete ran of the

education department (1991 -93) under Lamar A lexander and author ofReign of Error:

The Hoax of the Privatization Movement and the Danger to America's Public Schools

(http://www.amazon.com/Reign-Error-Privatization-Movement-

Americas/dp/0385350880), to call the Common Core "NCLB 2.0." Translated: No Child

Left Behind on steroids.

Ravitch lashed out (http://dianeravitch.net/category/u- s-department- of-education/)at

DOE chief Arne Duncan, contrasting him with now-Sen. Alexander, whom she

characterized as "scrupulous about not interfering in local decision making. He used his

bully pulpit, as all cabinet secretaries do, but he never tr ied to influence the choice of local

leaders. He respecte d the principle of federalism. Apparently, Duncan missed the class on

federalism."

Duncan's not the only target of CCSSI critics. Robert Holland, senior fellow at the

Heartland Institute, suggested (http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2013-07-17/news/bs-ed-core-curriculum-20130717_1_common-core-pros-and-cons-national-standards-and-

tests)in aBaltimore Suninterview that one re ason Common Core "[has] attracte d so

much opposition from both the right and left is that it was developed in elitist fashion,

bankrolled by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

(http://www.politico.com/story/201 3/09/education-common-core-st andards-schools-

96964.html#comment-1049628965), presented as afait accompliwithout public hearings

and then pushed hard by the Obama administration..."

Back in June 2010, CCSSI r eleased the English Language Arts/L iteracy and Mathematics

standards with promises of next-generation Science standards by 201 3 and Social Studies

standards by 201 7. Esteemed educators handpicked to sit on the ELA and math v alidation

committees, Drs. Sandra Stotsky and James Milgram, didn't sign off on the standards,

labeling them as inferior.Stotsky, who dev eloped one of the nation's strongest set s of K-1 2 academic standards and

licensing tests for prospective teachers, is now an outspoken staple on the "Stop CCSSI"

circuit. Recently, in a Breitbart News interview, she discussed

(http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/01/14/Expert-Dr-Sandra-Stotsky-

On-Common-Core-We-Are-A-Very-Naive-People) the spin machine surrounding the

standards, saying, "Every one was willing to believe that the Common Core standards are

rigorous, competitive, internationally benchmarked, and rese arch-based. They are

not."

Common Core is like the convoluted plotline of a daytime drama, impossible to explain in

25 words or less. That's why so many bloggers, news organizations, and talk radio

personalities cover it in manageable bites. Ultimately, it lives up to the unfortunate ax iom

coined by Nancy Pelosi when speaking about Obamacare in 201 0: "We hav e to pass the billso you can find out what's in it." We have, one worksheet at a time.

In school work that comes home, we see how foundational math, taught in a spiral fashion

to build on concepts from grade to grade, is gone. T his is replaced by math lattices, ladders,

and linguistics-based long-winded division and distributive property word problems loaded

up with social issues, like the "heroin habit" high school math homework that made the

rounds. This is only the tip of the iceberg and one reason that critics like Michelle Malkin

call it "Rotten to the Core (http://michellemalkin.com/2013/01/23/rotten-to-the-core-

obamas-war-on-academic-standards-part-1/) ."

When Common Core was originally introduced, the National Governor's Association

(http://www.natcure.org/what-is-common-core/national-governor-s-association/)(NGA)

was its "front man," only these governors weren't governors of any states. NGA is a

private non-profit with the Center for Best Pr actices that co-owns the Common Core State

Standards copyright with another non-profit, the Council of Chief State School Officers

(CCSSO).

Yes, CCSS is copyrighted (http://www.corestandards.org/public-license); its content

cannot be changed. Teachers cannot write their own content. Proponents say there is no

content, but there are assessments. These must be testing something, and it stands to

reason that whoever controls the tests controls the curricula, and whoever controls the

curricula, one fine day, controls the country.

For now, many (http://americansforprosperity.org/michigan/newsroom/common-core-

standards-top-down-failure-again/)deem Fed-led ed a failure not good for the kids, not

good for the teachers. Stat es like New York (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-

Government/2014/01/09/New-York-State-Considers-Delay-Of-Common-Core-

Standards)and South Carolina lead the pack in efforts to shut down the test ; they joinWisconsin (http://wisconsinfree.com/index.php/articles/532)and Indiana

Board, consulted prior to creating think tank Student Achievement Par tners, LLC.

Although Coleman's never taught a class K-20, he's busy aligning every high school

assessment for college (including high school equivalency GED) to CCSSI, with SAT

alignment to follow in 2016. Coleman's credited as CCSSI architect along with

Flashback to November 1 1, 1 992, before the Clinton Administration's Y2K "Improving

America's Schools Act," to an 18-page "Dear Hillary" lette r that resides in the

Congressional Record. Penned by Marc T ucker, president of the National Center on

Education and the Economy (http://truthinamericaneducation.com/common-core-state -

standards/gates-ncee-influence/)(NCEE) to then-First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, this

letter may well be theblueprint (http://www.eagleforum.org/educate/marc_tucker/)for

the Common Core.

The lette r was written one wee k after Bill Clinton was elected president. Hillary serv ed

with Tucker on the NCEE board. In it, Tucker outlined to Hillary the t ransformation of the

entire American system into "a seamless web t hat exte nds from cradle to grave " and is the

"same syst em for ever yone," coordinated by a "system of labor market boards at the local,

state and federal levels" where curriculum and job matching will be handled by counselors

"accessing the integrated computer-based program." The mission of schools would change

from "teaching children academic basics and knowledge to training them to serve the global

economy in jobs selected by workforce boards" in an outcome-based sy stem "guided by

clear national standards of performance," set t o "international benchmarks" that "define

the stages of the sy stem for the people who progress through it." In this "new system of

linked standards, curriculum and pedagogy will abandon the American tracking system."

Best of all, college loans debt will be forgiven for "public service." Sound familiar?

Tucker understood the need for community buy-in to se ll the plan. He recommended to

Hillary that "...legislation would require the executive branch to establish a competitive

grant program for these states and cities and to engage a group of organizations to offer

technical assistance to the expanding set of states and cities engaged in designing and

implementing the new system." Can you say Race to the T op?

Tucker described the roll-out plan: "[As] soon as the first set of state s is engaged, another

set would be invited to participate, until most or all the states are involved. It is a

collaborative design, rollout and scale-up program." The endgame was to " parallel the

work of the National Board for College Professional and Technical Standards, so that the

states and cities (and all their partners) would be able to implement the new standards as

soon as they become available..." The result was that the whole apparatus would be

operational in the majority of states within three years from "the passage of t he initial

legislation." Common Core implementationbegan (http://www.corestandards.org/in-the-

states)in 2010.

In the "Elementary and Secondary Education Program" portion of the lette r, Tucker

speaks directly t o Hillary: "so we confine ourselves here to describing some of thoseactivities [to rest ructure schools] that can be used to launch the Clinton education

program," noting that early childhood education "should be combined with quality day care

to provide wrap- around programs that e nable working parents to drop off their children at

Common Corewas not created by the states but private organizations in

Washington, DC, with lavish funding from private entities such as the Gates

Foundation. Powerful people decided that because they had the money and

influence to make things happen, they could do so. But in a democracy, the people

and in this case, the PARENTS, should have the last word. Decisions such as this

ought not be made at secret gatherings of billionaires, politicians and UNESCO to

impose the globalism of Common Core that demotes American values,

undermines American constitutional principles and detaches students from their

families and faith.

gramps,

I'm tired of hearing about 'Common Core', No Child left behind & Head

Start' !....All, 4 year olds' S/be tested to see if they can, understand the

concept, & say "Please & Thank You', B/4 being admitted to the 'Head

Start' type programs...

The PARENTS of 4 year olds' who can't pass this 'basic' of life, should be

reported to 'Child Protective Services' in their States, for 'Intellectual Child

Abuse' !

Knowsrightfromwrong

Isnt that what we just read in the article?

Homeschool your kids or send them to private schools.

If you are unable to do one of those, join the PTA, write your governor and

Writing prompts for sophomores (Pearson workbook): Do your parents fight? What do

hey fight about? Are you afraid when they fight? If your parents wanted to home school

you, how would you argue against it?

AllEnemiesForiegnAndDomestic

Absolutely right!

This is so our children will all lovingly join hands and sing the praises of a GlobalGovernment with one voice and much critisism of their (very stupid) parents who

were against such brilliant ideas.

Do NOT doubt that this is what Common Core is all about.

A Common -one world-core of beliefs that are not part of any sovereign nation.

(That idea is sooooo cave-man days).

Children: "Like, um, yeah . . . um, . . like we are so much . . . like , smarter .. um,

han our parents are . . um, . ...." . . .as the Globalists direct them what to do and

say and think next on their new whats-it phone requiring no hands.

"God, . . old people are like . . um . . so stupid!"

This is all COMMUNISM pure and simple and your children will be slaves to the

asleep at the switch. Marijuana and illicit sex are far more important to the average

American and someday they will wake up but it will be too late for us.

Sound like you would like to make us all slaves to your morality.

Progs want to make us slaves to THEIR morality, by controlling what we

see and when, how much energy we consume, where we live and so on.

Common Core is all too common.

Its liberal Common Communism, Common Cronyism, Common Corruption, and

Common Incompetence all rolled up into one giant federalized program thats from the

government and here to help your child.

Do everything in your power to fight this concentration camp curriculum or it will be your

grandchildren sending your children to the reeducation camps (you will have already been

euthanized for your lack of service and contribution to the benevolent state).

Is my hyperbole over the top? 5 years ago I might have thought so

I am happy my kid in middle school is learning about self-determination and freedom

in his social studies class. However, CC throughout the nation holds kid back in

math as they cannot do Algebra 1 in 8th grade. Whereas all of the private and

charter schools do have advanced kids taking Alg 1 in 7th or 8th.. its because of "theest." They do not have a CC test which would allow a kid to move up.

My 5th grader went from being great at math to terrible at math. He was being taught

UN doctrine, aka UDHR earlier this year and for the last several months

"Mexican Culture". Oh yea, this is in NY. So far, I see no benefits to my child.

Did anyone catch the Oreilly interview with bumbum. The part about the school voucher

program is an eye opener. Straight from Obamas mouth he clearly states he is against itbecause it helps kids. Equal outcome is not equal opportunity, remember that next time a

liberal speaks about equality

Matt

I hang around with a lot of progressive people, and they never talk about equal

outcomes. I know you won't, but I wish you would cite some examples where folks

on the left are calling for equal outcomes. ... I think the argument is that the bus

drivers, home health aides and preschool teachers of the world should be able to

earn a living wage and retire with some dignity, even if they don't have a job that

makes them wealthy, or even upper middle class. What's wrong with that?

RenegadeScholar

I wish you would cite some examples where folks on the left are calling for

equal outcomes

It is implicit in their worldview.

For them ANY unequal outcome is--in and of itself--PROOF of

discrimination and the need for quotas, targets, goals, etc.

KenS

Progressives push Common Core because (just as communists) they, through

education, want to control the message and indoctrinate our children. States and local

governments should exercise their independence and not kowtow to these shenanigans.

It isn't that Common Core is a disaster, it is the idea that a centralgoverning authority and control what is taught in the public schools. Much

of the area has already succumbed to quackery before Common Core but

it not only places accesses to ideas under federal control, it also opens the

door for the federal government to impose a type of education that is

largely influenced by lobbyists and special interests.

Common Core = No Accountability for Teachers

Common Core = No Accountability for Students

No accountability for teachers + no accountability for students = no accountability for tax

payer money. Welcome to the age of Obama, a little bit 1984 and a little bit Brave New
