The public schools have not been about education for at least two generations. Common Core is another installment in a long-term program of dumbing down the students and promoting a Leftist social agenda.

However noble Common Core may sound, it’s but a host carrier for a radical agenda not uncommon to those who want to undermine the nation at its core.

Just like the NEA. NEA loves it. Search up "The Frankfurt School" for origins.

Math is obviously racially biased to give whites the edge.

The Normal Lear show Good Times did an episode on this where Micheal refuses to take an IQ test because its racially biased by having questions referring to white middle class norms rather than black ghetto culture.

They say it should ask the kids (back then) who Malcolm X is.

When I read stuff like this I sometimes wonder about what is really going on in the so called STEAM education. BTW I’m an engineer.

Home schooling and private education are the salvation of our nation.

Commie Core has a liberal tilt? Who would have thunk it.

So, in short, Barry might say that “common core” is “the best revenge”.

Common Core?

More like rotten to the Core.

Schools have devolved into little more than a taxpayer funded ‘free’ Ipad program.

There are countries where kids do great at math. How do they teach? I’ll bet it starts with memorization and drill, drill, drill...

Remember the “New Math”?

As if Euclid needed a lesson from liberals.

Like all Government programs designed to ease life or capture young minds...they actually suck the juices out of young minds and destroy any desire to work hard for a major number of Americans. The Federal Government PAYS American citizens NOT TO WORK as Common Core cheats their minds. The number of American citizens on food stamps, medical unemployment, housing subsidies, unemployment for healthy people and many other subsidies. If there were drug testing for the unemployed, this number would be substantially lower:

In January 2005, the month that Barack Obama was sworn in as president, the United States was struggling with its worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. Just 60.6 percent of all working age Americans enjoyed employment of some kind. Since just 58.9 percent of all working age Americans presently have employment, the US job picture remains in worse condition than it was when Barack Obama entered office. (Nearly 102 million working-age Americans jobless)
