Isn't it the federal gubermint that is forcing “Common Core” on our children? This seems in direct contradiction. First you insist on a certain set of educational content, then you refuse to test if it has been delived properly?

Government schools aren’t capable of teaching any content beyond victim studies and how to put a rubber on a banana. So, any testing beyond that is likely to reveal things the schools would like to keep hidden.
