“Q: There’s been a lot of talk about Common Core. Can you provide some straight talk on this topic?
Certainly. I am not a supporter—period.”
Which part of that succinct answer confused you?
She later elaborated, “Have organizations that I have been a part of supported Common Core? Of course. But that’s not my position.”
Then rounded out her statement with a quip just exactly tailored for you, “Sometimes it’s not just students who need to do their homework.”
DeVos is being dishonest. She was not some anonymous member of an organization that happened to support Common Core, she sat for three and a half years on the Board of an organization whose sole purpose is implementation of Common Core. She is still on that Board today.
