Ron Paul: ‘Common Core’ Nationalizes And Dumbs Down Public School Curriculum

[Ghost of Jesus Gil]

Sadly, but not surprisingly, instead of improving education by repealing No Child Left Behind’s testing and other mandates, the Obama administration is increasing national control over schools via the “Common Core” initiative. Common Core is a new curriculum developed by a panel of so-called education experts. The administration is trying to turn Common Core into a national curriculum by offering states increased federal education funding if they impose Common Core’s curriculum on their public schools. This is yet another example of the government using money stolen from the people to bribe states into obeying federal dictates

Central Planning would be fine with me if the plan didn’t suck.
