[E. Pluribus Unum]

Even the Communist who created it thinks it is a disaster.

[ExTexasRedhead]

It’s pure garbage.

..........I don’t know about Hirsch being a communist but he did admit to being a socialist. I think back in 1986 the world was a different place and his “original intent” MAY HAVE been ok as far as conservatives are concerned. After all, it’s main goal was to establish a top notch curriculum for school kids. What’s not to like about that?

But, here comes the BUT! The fn liberals got a hold of it and NEA came to power (unions) and the sodomists, socialists and marxists got involved and conservatives, as always, were cowed by the left and their lap dog media so now here we are. The Common Core Curriculum is kind of a Communist Manifesto for school kids in the US. Give it a couple generations and there will not be a US left.

But this communist believes that Common Core is the best way to educate our children
so they will accept the socialist utopia they have planned for all of us.

Nathan Bedford's first Maxim of American politics:

all education in America is not local but ultimately racial

[Amagi]

Doesn't assessment of whether Common Core works depend on the REAL objective?
I mean just like Obama, the absolute worst, most incompetent POTUS in my memory --- and I dare say the worst POTUS ever by a landslide --- has, I believe in his own eyes and those of his Marxist moron fellow travelers, been successful in "fundamentally transforming the USofA" toward a third world socialist craphole.
Likewise, Common Core with an objective of further extension of liberal undermining of education looks to be very promising.
