004 What Are Common Core Standards?

from The Great Education Struggle Hosted by Trowel and Sword Enterprises, LLC.

In this episode, we take a cursory look at what Common Core Standards (CCS) are. Areas addressed include: CCS was forced upon the states by the federal government and special interest groups. CCS will strip states of their constitutional authority over education. Parents will no longer be able to control or influence what their child[ren] are being taught. CC will ultimately empower the federal government to control school curricula in violation of three federal status. Parents must understand how CC will end up narrowing the school curriculum and prepare their children for a centralized planned economy, otherwise known as socialism. Education use to be for the purpose of becoming an educated citizen fully capable of functioning in a Republic. Taxpayers need to know how CC leads to national testing that has huge financial repercussions for each state and local school district. Parents need to know how the student and family data tracking system will lead to the loss of personal privacy. Citizens need to understand how this new education direction will guide the next generation into a manage economy. Again, managed or centralized planed economies are the same things and it only happens in socialism and its variant forms.
