On Wednesday Tracy and Mary Finney of Marietta, Georgia were met by a police officer outside their children’s public school and informed they were trespassing on school property because they opposed the school’s process of testing all children.
The Finneys, whose children attend West Side Elementary School, had decided to opt their children out of Georgia’s state test, the CRCT.

Meg Norris, an organizer of United Opt-Out Georgia, told Breitbart News she is “shocked” at how the mandates to test children are being enforced in Georgia.
“It’s happening in schools all over Georgia,” Norris said. “Even children who are autistic must be tested.”
“Because of federal mandates, they are putting children through this,” she continued. “One child missed the first day of testing and the entire class was refused ice cream, leading to that child being bullied by his classmates.”
Norris explained that this year is the final year Georgia’s CRCT is to be used. Next year, the test is to be replaced by the Common Core-aligned PARCC assessment. “They say the CRCT was aligned with Common Core,” she added, “but I don’t see any evidence of that. As far as I can tell they’re teaching using the Common Core standards, but using the old CRCT to test the children.”
Norris, a former teacher, said she taught the Common Core standards for 18 months and could see what it was doing to her students. She added that Common Core has become a major issue in the elections this year.
“I just won’t vote for any politician who supports the Common Core standards,” she said.

Well then vote for David Pennington for Governor in the GOP primary on May 20th. We need to get rid of Raw Deal.
‘School Tax Bill’
What is that? Your property taxes? Show me how people are going to stop paying that.
The police? It is a criminal matter? Since when is education materials a criminal matter????
Nothing say this nation needs to hit the reset button like child rearing becoming a criminal matter.
What she really means is that kids belong to the State i.e. the Feds, just like in communist countries.
Government is getting more oppressive every day and it is not a sure thing that it will change even if we got a more “conservative” guvmint in the future.
Thanks JimRob.
Then they will take your house.
The next step will be to outlaw all non-public schools and put all students under the control of the unionized education bureaucracy.
Matthew 18
1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
We sure do. We need people on stand-by these days, I guess.

Eric Holder: Banning Homeschooling Doesn’t Violate Fundamental Rights
Those of us who homeschool should be concerned because the Attorney General of the United States, Eric Holder, in the government’s arguments essentially said that he believes that a law that bans homeschooling would violate no fundamental liberties.
“We will unfortunately need to see a lot more of this to break through the wall of stupid that led so many otherwise normal people to support it and things like it.”
The “otherwise normal people” will never admit being played
the ignorant fool. They will never admit, even to themselves
they were duped into this. Better to just discard them and
ignore their existence and defeat them in every aspect.
Looks like the police in this district in question don’t have enough real work to do. Thank God. Crime must be way down in Georgia.
