Episode 69: Shane Vander Hart fills us in on the Intracacies of Common Core

The Intracacies of Common CoreToday we continue our discussion on common core with Shane Vander Hart, who has contributed many articles and insight on the matter. As we see how states are enticed or coerced into accepting common core, we become more understanding of why it is so controversial.  Common core is used by the federal government to take more control of education and indoctrinate the next generation.  There are concerns for traditional schools and homeschoolers alike.  Today, Shane will talk more with us about what common core is and what we can expect from it.Even if these are the best standards available, the process of implementation is flawed. Every single state that adopted these, they totally bypassed the legislative branch. The exception would be Oklahoma and the legislature voted on common core prior to the common core actually being written and released.~Shane Vander HartiTunes          Stitcher     iHeart RadioShane Vander Hart is a homeschooling dad who is the founder and editor of CaffeinatedThoughts.com, a popular Christian conservative blog, he also writes extensively on education policy at TruthinAmericanEducation.com.
