Exclusive: Barbara Simpson exposes nationwide 'dumbing down of America's children'
Snip:
They explained classes would be reconfigured, curriculum content was being revised, teachers are being retrained on how to teach and what to teach, how every student would have a laptop, books were to be virtually phased out – but some new books would be created for this whole new education system.
We were told it would take a couple of years to get everything in place, but by the time that happens, it would be in every school and every grade in California.
There was no question of refusing because the governor had agreed to it. It’s happening, and no one is exempted. It’s called the “Common Core Curriculum,” and it’s a national program, courtesy of the Obama administration. In fact, it will affect all schools from K-12th grade.
Until that point, I’d never heard of it, and there had been nothing in local newspapers and only one column since. Parents have virtually no idea what’s being planned for their children, especially since practically no one attends board meetings.
But then there was Obama himself – during the debate moderated by Bob Schieffer – who was talking about that he’s accomplished, and he said: “You know, under my leadership, what we’ve done is reformed education, working with governors, 46 states.” He said bad schools were improving.
I couldn’t believe it! He said it! But no one called him on it. No media pursued what he was talking about. No one wondered why not all 50 states were involved. No one asked what it meant
I found out.
Most traditional “fictional” literature, classics and poetry are eliminated. Nothing long, only short pieces Children will read what’s described as “informational texts,” government reports, computer manuals and technical bulletins.

Mainly whites, hispanics and one Armenian kid.
The CSCOPE links didn’t work for me. I Googled, and came up with txscopereview.com.
Now that’s worth a ping to the homeschool list
This ping list is for articles of interest to homeschoolers. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping List. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added or removed from either list, or both.
The keyword for the FREE REPUBLIC HOMESCHOOLERS’ FORUM is frhf.
Ping to worthwhile information in post 28.

Thanks, Jane. I hadn't tried any of the links before I posted them. I'll check out the other link you found.
The important thing is that people alert their friends and neighbors about this stealth indoctrination program posing as 'education'. Thanks.
Creativity often spurs competition and we cannot have competition because minorities are most often disadvantaged in academic areas.
I was thankful that our school district is not on the *naughty* list. That doesn’t mean we can relax or rest on our laurels...every parent, grandparent, family member and all teachers need to made aware of this. Thanks for your post with all the info.
You bet, Jane. Right now, I'm not worried about what this means for my own kids because we home school, and are (for now) effectively out of the reach of this Machiavellian crap.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of our folks have kids or grandkids who are right in the path of this malevolence. We need to get the word out to them as quickly as possible.
With the ability to instantly change any of it because everything will be stored in the cloud.
They let Ronald Reagan slip in, but even he could not end the Department of Education even tho he ran on that, then is when this Coup d'état really began in earnest.
Only our enemies can get a real education here.
Not so fast my friend...
I work at a large mid-western University.
Every year at this time I make it point to ask many COLLEGE students what this on this day (12/07)is signified or honored.
I am saddened each year of how many students, some of the finest young minds in our nation, have NO IDEA of what is the significance of "December 7th, 1941". I would estimate that, sadly, it is more than 80% of them.
If this trend continues...
They are trying to purge 9-11-11 from the record books too.
They will be teaching such things as the proper way to fist or use sex toys. That seems more important these days.
Will parents do anything? /rhetorical question

I don't have to. I have him in my closet with my other old books. What to Do When the Russians Come.
I'm wondering if it isn't time to start adopting occupation rules of self-preservation already -- to become American Maquisards. (Yes, I'm aware of the irony, and of the fact that most Maquisards -- hence their lionization by Burt Lancaster in The Train -- were French Communists.)
"Communist Core Curriculum", eh? Yes, they're inching toward letting us know where they're coming from.
Happiness is never having to explain 100,000,000 corpses.
I worked at a site in Indonesia. The American working there said that the Indonesian engineers could recite equations at the drop of a hat. They couldn’t figure out a solution to a real-life problem if their lives depended on it. He called them “Automatons”.
Seems like Barry was impressed with his Asian school years.
Are not homeschoolers forced to follow the core curriculum?
ping
I don’t know. Regulations vary from state to state.
I’m in NY and we were required to teach certain subjects but have the freedom to pick the curriculum or plan of instruction. The district didn’t approve it or disapprove it, only let us know if it met state standards.
It’s a kind of fine line differentiating between that and approval and disapproval, but they couldn’t tell us not to use it, but rather where it needed to be supplemented.
CA homeschoolers would be the ones to best answer that question, so I’m pinging out the list.
