Education Secretary Arnie Duncan is reminding parents in America “that all your children belong to them”. In a not-so-very veiled threat Secretary Duncan states the Federal Government will step in if parents continue to opt their children out of Common Core testing. (Via Doug Ross Journal) Secretary of Education Arne Duncan issued a veiled threat to the parents and students who choose to opt out of Common Core testing – The Feds “have an obligation to step in.” Federal law, under No Child Left Behind, requires 95 percent of students in a state to take the annual standardized tests in reading

It’s racist against American exceptionalism and those who admire our Founding Fathers.
Education should be color-blind, Arne. CommieCore is not.
Pray for our nation and our future generations.
Collapse the system. Urge your children to take the test and intentionally answer every question wrong. The gestapo says they have to TAKE the test; it doesn’t say they have to PASS it.
Brilliant idea! I am a teacher & will tell you that when parents band together they have so much power. But the key is getting a STRONG grouping of many parents who won’t back down. This whole testing debacle has made school a hugely miserable situation for both teachers & students.
Parents HAVE to start a refuse the test revolution. A sick out, answering all questions incorrectly ( which might be difficult as the tests are so confusing),printing out tests online as some parents did. Whatever you have to do parents, do it!!!!!!!
I wonder if home school parents are racists according to this nut case?
Why not home school?
No doubt the dept of education should be abolished and this guy along with that but we did not get rid of eric holder... he left to be replaced by someone worse.
The rebellion is growing.
The feds are feeling the pinch.... and are resorting to threats ....
The more they squeeze, the more we will resist.
Well said!
The next logical step is declare home schools racist.
The older kids themselves have “ had it up to here” with the tests and curriculum; they are rebelling on their own also.
Common core advocates trying to fool the kids.... its not that easy.
Not lately.
Home school or start your own private schools.
Otherwise, opposing it would not be "racist".
Therefore, by admission of the 0b0z0 Regime, Common Core is Racist!

No juniors show up to take SBAC at Seattle high school (common core)

State Superintendent Randy Dorn released a statement Friday on the potential “fallout” from students opting out of testing. Dorn said there could be academic and financial consequences for the state of Washington if students don’t take the SBAC.

Dorn also pointed to federal expectations, saying that without a 95% participation rate, the Department of Education could cut funding to schools and label Washington as “high risk.”
As Charlie Reese used to say,...”A well educated elite, being necessary for the security of a free state, the right of the people to become educated shall not be infringed, does not give only the elite the right to become educated.”
Well, now the elites have Common Core to dumb down the common people.
The elites send their children to schools that DON’T use Common Core.
Didn’t know CC was a race. Should have known since every concept or inanimate object is today. Adding this to the every changing word definitions.
