Senate bill 1177 is a bipartisan measure to federalize education, all in the name of preserving local control.
It will be imposed on charter schools and all private schools that accept a nickel of aid.
As I said 30 years ago, “If you take the government’s nickel, you also take its noose.”
S-1177 is about to pass.
Here is a warning:
Protecting our children from increasing oppressions and loss of freedoms will require not allowing federal S.1177 to pass.
The name of S.1177, which now sits in the Senate on Capitol Hill, is also: “The Every Child Achieves Act of 2015,” “No Child Left Behind – rewritten,” “Elementary and Secondary Education Act,” and is virtually the same as House Bill HR5, “The Student Success Act” which passed the House yesterday.
In my own mind I have given all its versions this name: Nasty Orwellian Progressive Education (NOPE) –a convenient, more honest, and recyclable title. We will surely have to recycle S.1177 and its clones because it will not die. Although it died in HR5 form in Congress earlier this year, thanks to We the People being alert and active, now it has risen, passed the House as HR5– and will rise again until that relentless, growing clique (Duncan/Gates/Tucker/Pearson NGA/NCSL/CCSSO/REL/ et al) gets its way– until there is no longer any such thing as student privacy or local autonomy in any school. If you think I’m exaggerating, please study the words and actions of each of those ed reform moguls.
The hide and seek that readers must wield with the real purposes and powers of this bill is ridiculous. Clearly, the authors of S.1177 aim to obscure its true purposes, which I now see only serve the Obama-UN agenda for education.

Somehow folks are going to figure out that no, Uncle Sam does not have the Midas touch.
Once that noose is tightly cinched expect to hear more about “gay marriage.”...but we’ll just wait until you are hopelessly entwined in the Federal system logistically and financially.
For most, that will happen only after the chains are on and there is no escape.
Here’s an idea: NO MORE FEDERAL FUNDING OF K-12
Common core is a piece of crap designed by eggheads that have no clue how children learn. i have grandchildren who have been suffering through the most ridiculous math course I have ever seen. The “solutions” to simple problems are obscure and confusing, and I’m very good at math. i just hope they and other kids aren’t turned off math altogether because of this idiocy. Thanks for nothing, Arne Duncan.
Who could possibly be against this? Don't we all want our children to succeed? < /Lib-licker >
We are now taxed virtually without representation, forced to pay under penalty of prison by a corrupt IRS, and then the funds are used to shove policies we don’t agree with down our throats to beat us into collectivism and one world government acceptance. The whole concept of individual rights is being destroyed.
My bet is that the fascists will outlaw home schooling soon.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Take the King’s dollar, dance to the King’s tune.
Private schools, churches and activities sponsored by religious groups should not get tax dollars.
Wow, you would think that Private Schools have horrible abysmal records and high dropout rates and low graduation rates...
Oh... wait those are Public SKROOLS....
Thye just can’t keep their FSKING HANDS OFF THINGS THAT WORK!!!!
With CC & the GLBT SCOTUS ruling I’m having to home school. Developing my own curriculum currently. How Fun! Everything you need can be found online or in used bookstores.
More subversion of our liberty by the lesser of evils.
What gets me is the population of the USA is 325,000,000+1 every 10 seconds and everything that happens is directly caused by about 5 or 10 people.
"S-1177: Common Core Will Be Imposed on Private Schools That Get Fed [emphasis added] Funds"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
The states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specfiic power to regulate, tax and spend for intrastate schooling purposes, public or private. So the funding that the corrupt feds are threatening to withold from private schools who don’t implement common core should never have left the states in the first place, such funding probably more accessible to private schools if it had remained in the states.
Note that House bills that appropriated funds for intrastate schools should not only have never seen the light of day, but the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Senate should have protected their states by killing such vote-winning bills.
“Gay marriage” will be part of common core indoctrination, as well as all other kinds of weird stuff.
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
I work with/ tutor 1:1 kids and their parents who are suffering through - and FURIOUS - about Common Core math. Parents stormed the school/ protested to the math teachers. Math teachers hate it too, and are rumored to be using their own free-standing worksheets rather than the CC books. I suggest to my kids’ parents, “Make sure your student knows how to do math the way you learned; this stuff is ridiculous.”
