Common Core is trying to redistribute the inner-city pedagogy into every other school in the nation so that everyone can be equally illiterate, innumerate, and dependent on habits of non-thinking.

Exactly correct, and that's what Duncan did to all the Chicago Pubic Schools ... dumbed them down to the same level of incompetence.

Thank God I don't live in Chicago or C(r)ook County!

Let’s give credit where it’s due even as we despise it.

The early 20th century progressives understood that control of the education system was key to controlling the direction of our nation. They implemented their plan through the Department of Education and a wholesale takeover of higher education, aided by their union/political allies, to perfection. They cemented it by taking over the entertainment/news industry.

The results speak for themselves and the power they enjoy today is a direct result of their successful efforts.

Was Arne Duncan in charge of the Chicago schools? If so, what was his role, if any, in Obama and Ayers’ plans to teach sub-Saharan Supremacy to inner-city teachers so they would teach inner-city kids that they aren’t American and that America raped them, the genetically-supreme race? That was what the Annenberg Challenge money was used for, at the urging of Jeremiah Wright and his racist pals in academia.
