I think that having some sort of “common core” is a good thing for all Americans. But it should not be done at the expense of freedom, good education for the kids, and the undermining of sovereignty for the state, local, and family levels of government.

"I’m saying “NO” to her nomination."

Well, I guess that's that, huh? You've got to be kidding.

After 24 straight years of double-Term Globalist Assholes for president, we finally rise up as one and elect Trump to the Oval, and you're ready to go "Full Retard" over his DOE pick?

I guess California really is totally f____d.

“BARF!! Sounds like any Shrillary speech. “

Agree. We can read her bio ourselves.

“All I want to hear is “Trump hired me to put this department out of business.”

I’d like to hear that too, but I would settle for “we will not inject the federal government into private schooling and homeschooling”. Also, I’d love her to announce her personal support for an exodus from government schooling, which is a lost cause and has been for decades.

Nice.

Y’know...when that’s the best response you’ve got to a reasonable consideration of possible explanations of a given situation; your “’Cuz Murica, man!!” flat-headed reaction is the sort of tripe that gives real Conservatives a bad name.

I present facts and some posters don’t like those facts.

I thank them all for the laugh their posts provide.

He’s not sworn in yet, and no cabinet positions have been confirmed.

Let’s keep the opposition guessing - okay?

Here are some more facts.

Her foundation pays for the development of common core lesson plans

Bridges at School is a topical curriculum developed for American middle school classrooms. Contextualizing the Arab World and providing a unique series of both critical thinking and creative lesson plans that shed light on the rich historical, scientific, mathematical, religious, and cultural legacy of the region, this program focuses on the themes of global citizenship and identity through a series of analysis-based lesson plans. Bridges at School highlights poetry and values-based paired texts; fashion and style; visual art; food and spice; drama; music; language; medicine and science; and media

Development funding for Bridges at School is courtesy of Donna Pearson Chapman and The Dick & Betsy DeVos Family Foundation.

Common Core pages 3, 13

See also the sample lesson plan given on pages 16-20

She says she does not support common core yet for years sits on the Board of Bush's common core promoting foundation and her own foundation pays for the development of common core lesson plans.

It's completely unreasonable to doubt her words. /s
