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.
