"The children belong to all of us," Paul Reville, an education professor at Harvard and former Massachusetts secretary of Education, said Friday in explaining why states should adopt the Common Core State Standards Initiative.
"What we're doing at the national level ... is what a lot of our states thought made sense individually. Why should some towns in cities or states have no standards or low standards and others have extremely high standards when the children belong to all of us and would move. And the same logic applies to the nation," he said, making the case for national standards.
His comment regarding children is similar to a controversial statement by MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry in April. In an ad for MSNBC, she said, "We have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents, or kids belong to their families, and recognize that kids belong to whole communities."
Reville was a panelist for an event hosted by the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank, and the National Center on Time & Learning in Washington, D.C., introducing a new CAP report, "Redesigning and Expand

Yes, children are not property, but souls in trust.
Our children are our children; not theirs.

My kids only belong to me and the Mrs. Let them try all they want, my kids already know better.
It is time to hold Paul Reville accountable for his statements and actions by finding him to be unfit to hold any office or employment in the public trust.
1. They support CORE.
2. They support amnesty for illegal aliens in exchange for cheap labor.
3. They support the normalization of homosexuality, e.g., look what they did to the Boy Scouts of America (and already did to the Girl Scouts).
If I didn't know any better I would think that these execs are in cahoots to build a NWO at the expense of the U.S. and Western civilization what with the Bilderbergers, TLC, Bohemian Grove, CFR, Club of Rome, UN, Rhodes Trust, and Skull & Bones.
That’s probably the reason childless elites hold this belief. You’re not really being sold the idea that children “belong to everybody”, you’re actually being sold the idea that individual familial lineages and history are meaningless and the main fealty one should have is to the state.
This would facilitate a whole host of concepts that make statists get “tingly feelings” up their legs, in particular that which would make acceptable the idea that ones lifetime produced wealth should revert to the state at death, or the trust, or corporation you swore fealty to, rather than blood descendants.
Friedrich Engels, The Principles of Communism, 1847:
[Q:] What will be the influence of communist society on the family?
[A:] It will transform the relations between the sexes into a purely private matter which concerns only the persons involved and into which society has no occassion to intervene. It can do this since it does away with private property and educates children on a communal basis, and in this way removes the two bases of traditional marriage — the dependence rooted in private property, of the women on the man, and of the children on the parents.

Attention Speaker Boehner: Impeach Obama in 2014, PERIOD!
Boehner is powerless. He can’t even keep his daughter from marrying a Rastafarian Cat-in-the-Hat doper and he’s going to save the country from Zero ? He, and the entire GOP leadership (establishment types all), need to be removed from power.
