Big Government has been in Education for decades. Common Core does not come out of nowhere. What I’m saying is, know more about it so if you want to argue, argue cogently, not just some screaming hysteria about how Common Core is an evil Nazi plan to lobotomize white people, and some of the other nonsensical, paranoid claims I’ve heard here. In fact, if you want to fight it, whining on Free Republic about how EE-VIL the government is has to be one of the more stupid approaches. If you want to combat what educational bureaucrats are doing to kids, know enough about it so you don’t sound like one of those nuts who think fluoride is a brainwashing chemical introduced into our drinking water by the Illuminati.
