Every teacher I’ve talked to hates it and says it has hidden agendas leaning towards indoctrination style thinking. Not always put into those specific words but having the same meaning...

[originalbuckeye]

Every child is being indoctrinated into Leftist thought, beginning at kindergarten. We MUST give education responsibility back to the States!

I don’t know if common core is evil, I just know that it is an indoctrination curriculum, one designed to make all those under it’s thumb sympathetic to socialist ideas.

Bill Gates plays a major part in this. Other than supplying a steady stream of business for his buddies, what’s in it for him? Meaning, why would Gates be so bent on turning our kids into submissive globalist worker bees?

[GeronL]

Yes

[JSDude1]

You said it “worker bees” see slaves for the ruling classes.

[piytar]

Yes.

Common core won't be used in the schools of the children of the rich.

[WashingtonSource]

Yes

Progressives are evil. Anything they touch or do will reflect the evil of their beliefs.

Common core isn’t a curriculum.

[MacMattico]

I keep hearing that common core isn't a curriculum. But take my state, NY. It uses common core principles to promote a socialist-like agenda. Even in 6th grade math— my daughter was finding the mean, median and mode. Mode was described as the “fair share” and she had to know this for the test and what it meant. It's worse in other subjects: NY has a common core curriculum, and even if the teacher's don't like it they must follow it to the letter if they want their kids to pass state supplied tests.

“Establishing Child Career Pathways...”

In the UK, the term “Pathways” figurative means a walk to the death chamber. It’s a way to cut down on health care costs by convincing the high-maintenance (and now low producer types) to be talked into peacefully “checking out”.

[maine yankee]

NO ! ping

[ctdonath2]

I need more info on that for a skeptic.

[jsanders2001]

Here’s a website that has pretty good info about the evils of Common Core. In a nutshell, it is an an educational system posing as “standarization” but is in reality an indoctrination tool to promote ideologies beneficial to political interests. One example was getting students to pose as a Nazis commander and write about the evil of Jews. Another was getting students to wear burkas to make them sympathize with Muslims. the examples are endless:
