"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

Common Core is nothing except liberal indoctrination coupled with a deliberate attempt to dumb-down our students so that they become dependent, non-ambitious Democrat Party loyalists who will live their lives with their hands out. And, as far as the liberals are concerned, it’s all the better if the Common Core zombies all become atheists as well - or Muslims, whatever.

I need to know what we can do in a school district that has already voted it in and is actively incorporating the structure

[rhinohunter]

Ted is a huge improvement over Fred Thompson who had no fire in the belly.

Talk the parents in your school district into opting out of the Common Core testing.

That is one thing you can do.

It will help to kill it off.

Anyone like Ted Cruz who will rake on the ethanol cartel even while speaking in IOWA is unafraid to take on anything else that is also corrupt.

Start going to school Board meetings-get on the record-get local parents to get off their a**

[kiltie65]

And vote out the State Governors who accepted Common Core to get the money given to their state to incorporate common core.

Next time you post, please don't publish the whole thing in BOLD. It makes it much harder to read. Thank you.

It is common knowledge that the indoctrination of the young people from the colleges on down has been the agenda even long before the Islam communist got elected, that is why he got elected.

It surprises me that the other candidates are not aware of this issue more that what they are.

We need a man like Cruz bad and a bunch like him to back him up.

Sorry Hetty, that's how it was published on that web-site. I'll try to make adjustments, however, if I find another article all bolded.

That is the way it is at the original article in bold.

Hell, Run for those school boards and put them in their place. City Counsels too.

I'm ON the board ...It was voted in before I got there

BTW ... I ran a successful write in campaign to get on the ballot in Nov.

Good! I made a local FB page and am bringing in speakers on this CC business also bringing in the local Arabic Immersion Magnet School issue. One of the speakers will address the connection to CC with National Security issues. Wish I could get u the flyer....

We're talking ... a LOT

I started the community conversation last year (I replaced a quitter a year and a half ago and now I'm involved) ... regarding "paid and unpaid" clubs

I noticed it was a vote last year and I had no idea what they were so I researched and found ... paid is a stipend for a teacher monitor and unpaid is student directed

I found something called GSA was a paid club

Turns out ... GSA is Gay/Straight Alliance club

I hit the roof, talked around town and now about 30 people show up to protest a club that mysteriously slipped in in 2012 and NO ONE had any idea it had been voted in

We have anywhere from 24 - 50 students being pulled into cyber next year because of this

[knarf]

Please ... please ... please .... we’re out numbered.

[Jane Long]

Bless you for your efforts. This is what it will take.
