Just a quick comment: “Common Core” is an initiative by the elite to consolidate their hold over the education sector. I suspect they fear internet, private, and home schools, and hope to parlay those ‘federal standards’ into requirements even for those types of schooling.
Yep. Another Trojan Horse. We are not to ask who gets to decide what goes into this "common core." Common core of what?
Certainly the progressive educrats will try to swallow up internet, private, charter, and home schools. They detest liberty on principle.
But where does it say that Christians are helpless against this onslaught on traditional character formation and the future well-being of our children? Where does it say we cannot push back whenever we can, wherever we stand? Where are the "warriors" of — and for —Christ?
For instance, do you know what's in your child's textbooks? If you don't like what you find, don't hesitate to complain to the principal, school superintendent, and/or school board!!! In most cases, the last is composed of elected officials upon whom political pressure might successfully be applied....
