I’ll tell you what was also the Soviet Model: leaving education to the liberals. How’s that working for us?

No. The Soviets were not in favor of leaving education to the liberals.
They were in favor of leaving education to the government.
Which is really what is at the core of “Common Core”. That is precisely why many conservatives dislike it.

I will say as well, I think it is unfair to label conservatives in general, and Freepers in particular, as being anti-government.
Most conservatives are anti-BIG Government.
We understand that government is necessary and has (or should have) clearly enumerated functions. Most of us understand the necessity, recognize that there is a balance to strive for, and in general, have given it deeper thought than our political adversaries.

The government should never have become involved in education. It's an easy leap from education to propaganda and indoctrination.
We should dismantle the public education system.
