A children’s book that is part of the Common Core curriculum portrays white voters as racists who would never vote for Obama for president. The book called, “Barack Obama,” says: “Some people said Americans weren’t ready for that much change. Sure Barack was a nice fellow, they said. But white voters would never vote for a black president,” the book reads. This is in spite of the fact that millions of whites voted for the sitting president. Follow TLR on Google+
Common Core’s implementation has gotten off to a rocky start. States like Indiana have opted out of the unified educational standards, with Governor Mike Pence signing legislation that removed the state from required participation. Still, the law doesn’t fully prohibit some parts of Common Core from being implemented.
In New York, the first state that implemented the guidelines, a girl was suspended from school after she told classmates that they were able to opt out of the Common Core English test. She was suspended for insubordination for two days after the incident. Students at another school were rewarded with ice cream if they took the test, and students who refused to take it were punished by having their ice cream withheld.
Common Core State Standards will reportedly have little to no impact on student achievement according to a study published by the Brookings Institution. The report concluded that it would take 24 years to achieve a noticeable improvement, making it harder to understand why the federal government is pushing so desperately for the unified educational standards.
Common Core has been creating strange bedfellows coalitions across the United States, with conservative seeing it as obtrusive federal overreach and liberal activists seeing it as an attack on teacher’s independence. Left/Right grassroots groups have been rallying to fight back against the unified standards for different reasons, but with the same goal of decreasing the federal government’s ability to restrict the rights of teachers, students and parents.
In New York recently, parents and teachers held a rally in support of students opting out of the statewide Common Core English exams.
“Common Core must be stopped or we will lose the next generation to the collective.”
That’s the whole purpose of Common Core.
I think it’s up to 17 states that have outright thrown it out, and several put it on hold.
Even teachers unions are protesting.
Anyone still using public school is wrong.
True. And voting FOR Obama because he is black is just as racist. Blacks voted for him at levels approaching 100%. So which group is the most racist?
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
The DNC hates whites.

. The book called, “Barack Obama,” says: “Some people said Americans weren’t ready for that much change. Sure Barack was a nice fellow, they said. But white voters with an ounce of common sense would never vote for a black Naked Socialist president,”
Fixed it for the commie core folks there...
At its best, the current public school is anachronistic but it is far from "at its best".
We now have generations that have passed through the public education system and the degradation of intellectual capabilities is staggering.
The ignorant teaching the ignorant is not a plan for success.
Idiocracy is Prophesy!
Home schooling list? Not sure who the main keeper is.
There was a thread posted by a perfect lady or some such name, not bothering to ping) supporting Common Core’s excellence.
Sure Barack? Who is Sure Barack?
Other than the idiotic content, whoever wrote this flunked English 101.
Yeah Republicans are racist in that they won’t vote for a Marxist because he’s black.
Tens of millions more whites voted for The Won than blacks voted for Romney or Bush. Even if you look at percentages, a far greater percentage of whites voted for mediocrity (well, SLIGHTLY more mediocrity than Willard) than the percentage of blacks who voted for Romney or W (or any other R). Are all those blacks waycissst or something?
Would "certainly" instead of "sure" have worked better for you?
Sheesh.
At this point there’s no reason to try to stop any of this. Just document it and take down the names of who’s pushing it. It’s only a matter of time before the spark is lit.
Actually, the antidote would have been a comma.
So what,we hate the DNC right back.
I refer to the system as the public church because of the religious doctrines they teach. That is really bad all by itself but then add the complete lack of discipline and the fact that they are the first to completely submit to the racist card and, ok I have dozens of problems with the public school system.
“The law of gravity is racist”.
