At a Common Core forum held Tuesday at Ward Melville High School, Beth Dimino ripped New York State Education Commissioner John King, calling for his resignation and firing and describing the Common Core curriculum as a form of child abuse. Dimino is a 16-year science teacher in the Comsewogue School District, and serves as President of the Port Jefferson Station Teachers Association (PJSTA).
Her speech, a short two-minute blast on the curriculum and its supporters received several outbursts of applause, as well as a standing ovation when she walked away from the podium.
Here is the transcript of her speech:

Indeed it is. But unfortunately, the carrot stick being offered (money) has most states signing on.
Pretty much.
But it's worked so well for the inner cities. /s
Cass Sunstein?
Bwahaha.
Of course Common Core is child abuse. That’s why the left supports it.
That is generally a solid rule to go by.... Except in this case. Commie Core really is bad stuff.
Broken clocks are right 2x a day
That is quite a bold lie. You NEVER post on blog posts here.
In fact all you do is post threads from your(?) blog and never participate.
...but rarely comment on my own posts.
LOL@rarely, how about never? Another lie.
Posters that post from blogs that have any self respect will participate on threads that they post.
As it is you are using Free Republic to post threads but completely have no interest in discussing the issues you bring up.
What an insult to Free Republic.
Obviously you don't think what you post is worthy of discussion.
Plus you have stolen another writers name.

What do you guys make of this? One interpretation states that the military vote is being suppressed, another says they're just trying to extend it to everyone. But wouldn't that, by extension, mean limiting the rights of the one given the privilege?

Well yea that is what I said.
Posting all of his history on the thread is just playing into his hands.
I’m sorry my post inspired you to do that.
Touche :)
...at Ward Melville High School, Beth Dimino ripped New York State Education Commissioner John King, calling for his resignation and firing and describing the Common Core curriculum as a form of child abuse. Dimino is a 16-year science teacher in the Comsewogue School District, and serves as President of the Port Jefferson Station Teachers Association (PJSTA).
Guess that depends on the meaning of participate.
Going back to November 28, 2012, you've
offered just one four word reply back on July 3rd.
Wow! I must be special to get that record breaking response of more than four words. Must be because I asked so sweetly.
Yes, I’m wounded.
Hey Rusty, When I visit your blog, Ghostery says you have 17 trackers watching me: Adknowledge, Clicky, Commission Junction, Disqus, Facebook Connect, Facebook Social Plugins, Google +1, Google Adsense, Google Analytics, Lijit, LinkedIn Widgets, LinksAlpha, Newsmax, Pinterest, Reddir, Taboola, and Wordpress Stats.
Is that the best you can do? Is that really necessary?
I disagree with your strategy. I think it's wise to make a comment on your own posts. It provides a direction to the thread. Many times, we post on issues we are expert in or, at least, very interested in.
Fellow FReepers may not have the context or background on a specific topic and won't have any idea why it's relevant. This post is an example.
Bump for later.
Dont flame me, but, generally, anything that upsets the president of teachers union should be considered a good thing.
Those were my thoughts exactly.
I really would like to see examples of things in her science classes that were demonstrable causes of stress.
Didn’t think that would have been such a burden for you. Sorry you’re so wound tight. Get a massage, get drunk, do something. Jeez.
No need to get defensive
