Common Core: Rather than defend a program accused of indoctrinating students via national standards and whose implementation is as bad as ObamaCare, Education Secretary Arne Duncan plays the race card.
Perhaps nothing personifies the arrogant nanny state paternalism of the Obama administration more than this statement by Duncan on Friday: "It's fascinating to me that some of the pushback is coming from, sort of, white suburban moms who — all of a sudden — their child isn't as brilliant as they thought they were and their school isn't quite as good as they thought they were, and that's pretty scary."
Secretary Duncan made his comments about the Common Care State Standards (CCSS) before a group of school superintendents in Richmond, Va., to a meeting of the Council of Chief State Schools Officers organization (CCSSO). This is one of the two organizations that own the public license to the Common Core State Standards.
The Common Core State Standards Initiative was devised by a group of the nation's governors and backed by the Obama administration in 2009 with the goal of setting a uniform standard for grades K-12 nationwide. Some 45 states, in many cases enticed by federal grants, have signed on.
It has since morphed into what many consider an attempt to nationalize education and control what future generations think and know.

As I have posted before, Arnie knows something about stupid white people, he sees one every morning, IN THE MIRROR.
How effin dumb can dumb get?
Look at the picture of his face. It really is stupidity on parade.
I’ll stop now, before I get spanked.
Can't allow that to continue.
Aren’t these moms the backbone of the modern Democratic Party? The upper-income professionals whose money keeps the Democrats running New York and California?
Translation: “Racists”
Snippy little beetch, isn’t he?
IBD EDITORAL PING
Damn.
White girl read a lot.
So their kids were brilliant before you began teaching them the Common Core garbage? That’s exactly why caring parents are opposed to it.
Yet most of the white soccer moms vote for obama because he looks good and they dont want to be viewed as racists. Idiots all the way around
IBD EDITORIAL PING
Education secretary can’t speak English a lot.
You know, I have a good feeling that a hundred years from now, the folks that survive, will look back on this time in our history, and wonder (speculate) how we managed to make it through this nonsense...
This alone should be a driving force to defeat this sickness called liberalism...It only leads to destruction...On all things...
Arne, you guys keep using the “stop whining, your old plan was crap” defense and somebody’s going to take it and jam it up you.
IBD EDITORIAL PING
The American people were presented with two differing views of the USA and they decided that this one better represented how they feel.
Elections have consequences.
And unbelievably, they also bought into the whole War on Women load of crap.
Rampant paranoia from those who were not wrapped too tightly to begin with.
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Ping to both the ARTH and HS list. The issues with Common Core need to be known by all.
Common Core Torn Apart
THIS COULD BE ONE OF THE BEST CASES EVER MADE AGAINST COMMON CORE – NO ONE EXPECTED IT TO COME FROM A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT
