	"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

As the article states, CommieCore is against the law, in TX.....

“Texas school districts are required to provide instruction in the essential knowledge and skills at appropriate grade levels, and pursuant to subsection 28.002 (b-3) of the Education Code, they may not use the Common Core State Standards Initiative to comply with this requirement,” Abbott stated clearly in opinion GA-1067.

Certain “freedoms” allow districts to select curricula on their own....to cover TEKS requirements. This appears to be where the CommieCore materials are “slipping” in.

EVERY parent must be vigilant in looking for these CommieCore materials. Bless this Boerne mom for finding - and reporting this.

EVERY parent in this school district (Boerne ISD) should be outraged and demanding these commie materials be pulled, immediately.

[Bigg Red]

Any parents who claim to be shocked by this have not been paying attention.

[morphing libertarian]

despite private schools and home schooling the costs and difficulty of those options means that public schools remain a monopoly.

The best option to stop all the destructiveness coming out of DC is school choice with vouchers, so that competition is introduced into the equation.

I hope President Cruz kills common core, but a part of me wishes he would kill it at the end of the second year of his term... using the first two years to scrap all existing lessons and put in phonics, gun safety, the constitution, and many other lessons that would have the left screaming to end common core before it is put down.
