I say we borrow a term from our British brethren, and refer to this lump as Arse Duncan from now on.

I’m very surprised that Arne Duncan is able to come up with so many words that have more than one syllable!

The most telling feature of "Common Core " is that it had two educators on its design board,
who were never consulted , nor did they 'sign off' on the cirriculum .
So "Common Core " was formulated by non-educators,
States were Federal financially bribed into participating,
and provides for no incentives for student academic success , only standardized testing and core study .

All the advocates of common core are people who’s kids go to private schools where they are treated as red diaper babies. Look at Arne..he went to the Lab School at U of Chicago. As school for the wealthy of Chicago to be taught the good habits of Labradors.

racist" means "shut up! I can't argue the issue, so shut up!"

A wise FReeper once said that the definition of a racist is "A Conservative who's winning an argument with a liberal".

[Article] At heart of Common Core is the liberal’s statist notion that only they are capable of running our lives.

That isn't liberalism, it's vanguardism which, after you strip away all the bogus economic theory and phony, manipulative "up with the People" rhetoric, is actually all that Communism offers.

"They said that they would rule wisely,
And they said that they would rule well;
But they said that they would rule." ( /Old saw.)

The British historian Toynbee, if memory serves, was the leading 19th-century exponent of vanguardism. His teaching was that all human history flows from the action and the vision of a few Great Men.

D of Education would be the FIRST Department, meaning day one, eliminated under an Original Christian administration. Next would be D of Energy.

Arne Duncan knows this how? Because he ran a model school system in Chicago?

His only credential, IMO, was in knowing Obama, another Chicagoan.

That's his secondary qualification. His primary qualification was as the Superintendent of Education for the Chicago school system, one of the worst in the nation. He drove those schools into the ground - disastrous.

He was so successful at it that he was promoted to take that show nationally.

Arne is the guy in charge of the ObamaCORE rollout. He knows that dumbing down the inner city schools has been a huge success for the leftists. Just where they want them for the planned entrance into the Marxist utopia.

Dumb kids who can't read or write or do math or fill out a job application. Dumb people are so much easier to control.

What Arne is doing is displaying the Alinsky technique of calling out his enemy first so that no one notices what he is really doing.

What? You white suburban mothers don't want your children to be as dumb as the left has made the inner city school kids?

Translation: "Hey, don't blow the lid off the fact that inner city kids are dumb, so there, your kids are dumb you stupid white suburban moms."

So now Matt Damon’s mom Nancy Carlsson-Paigeis a “White suburban mom with dumb kids”? Well I sort of agree there but I doubt that is why she is opposed to Common Core. This is not a Liberal vs Conservative issue it is more rightly a Statist vs Liberty minded people issue.

Are all of those people who signed the letter to the Catholic Bishops which opposed Common core so classified? I sort of doubt it.

cache and disseminate - widely and often

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epo2oWoL7ZE&feature=youtu.be

be especially attentive starting at minute marker 16:30.

Allow this - and your children's lives - every hour of every day - will be controlled. And there will be no generation to save them or the rest of coming generations.
This - combined with NSA and bummerCare - will be the end of civilization as we have known it.

These people are truly steeped in Evil - and I'll wager THEIR children and the muzzies children will NOT be educated in this ‘curriculum’ - They mean for a slave force like even they have never dared dream of.

You Post: “ We’re onto their indoctrination scheme”
Think they care now?

They’e got it in place.

What are YOU going to do, except voice an opinion? (FREEPERS used to make a difference - not just ‘natter’.

Evrey single one of us need to burn up the email inboxes of our reps - today, tomorrow and every day, until we get these cretins out of office...

Right now, we have a chance to stop this - as the demRats are already running for their political lives, individually, like at no time in decades.

DO IT NOW! and EVERY Day - don’t stop...they count on us losing interest and forgetting about it.

And you can bet that ‘bummer will carry out his plan to forbid home schooling -

Love your kids? Grandkids? Freedom? Get busy on the emails - AND letters to the editors to every paper in your county. Make up flyers and post. If you wake up just one or two in your community, it can spread from there.

What ARE you waiting for?

Pay particular attention starting at minute marker 16:30. Total lifetime slavery.

you post: “D of Education would be the FIRST Department, meaning day one, eliminated under an Original Christian administration. Next would be D of Energy.”

This is the biggest promise to us that Reagan never kept = to eliminate the Dept of Ed. He left that country/freedom destroying monster to run amok.

Here is a highly educated, dedicated, brave lady that has spent the last 40+ years fighting this train-wreck to ever get to this point.

She BELIEVED Pres. Reagan - he appointed her to the Dept of Education and she went, enthusiastically, armed with resolve to help dismantle this monster. She was bitterly disapointed to find that it was not going to happen.

She has a impressive background and wide contacts - look up some clips on youTube.

(She's also at the forefront of the battle against Agenda 21.)

I am doing more than just voicing an opinion behind the scenes. There are some people looking at Common Core’s political connections but that’s about all I can say right now...
