Common Core: An Assault on Education It is CRUCIAL that we educate ourselves! We owe it to our children and grandchildren! DID YOU KNOW that Common Core education standards have been enacted in 46 states without any state legislature's approval, in a secret process to which educators and the public have no input? Three attachments here - the first invites you to a May 24th noon-1:30 pm CST phone conference on Common Core.  The next two will give you more background.  DON'T BE SHOCKED that we've enclosed a paper from the SOCIALIST WORKER'S PARTY!!  Objections to CC are arising in every quarter, from ultra-liberal to ultra-conservative.  This is beyond political affiliations.  Common Core represents a MASSIVE FEDERALIZATION of education, and massive financial gain for certain vendors of textbooks, testing, teacher training and computer hardware.  One casualty of CC is our children's privacy of records. As serious, these new "rigorous" standards, are lower than standards already in use in several states.  Governors were persuaded to adopt Common Core by threat of loss of "Race to the Top" education funding (from the stimulus bill!!).
