Common Core and the Bill Gates Foundation and George Will
You know it is awful when cautious and moderate conservative George Will is against you because Common Core is just another Federal power grab. My reasons for being against Common Core are:

GEORGE WILL:
Conservative pundit George Will delivered a fierce attack on Common Core last night, characterizing the educational standards as a way for progressives to further promote their political views.
This is a thin end of an enormous wedge of federal power that will be wielded for the constant progressive purpose of concentrating power in Washington so that it can impose continental solutions to problems nationwide, Will said on Fox News Special Report.
He also warned Americans that the federal standards posed a significant threat to local autonomy.
The advocates of the Common Core say, if you like local control of your schools, you can keep it, period. If you like your local curriculum you can keep it, period, and people dont believe them for very good reasons, Will remarked.
George Will: Doubts over Common Core wont be easily dismissed
January 15 2014
Viewed from Washington, which often is the last to learn about important developments, opposition to the Common Core State Standards Initiative still seems as small as the biblical cloud that ariseth out of the sea, no larger than a mans hand. Soon, however, this education policy will fill a significant portion of the political sky.
The Common Core represents the ideas of several national organizations (of governors and school officials) about what and how children should learn. It is the thin end of an enormous wedge. It is designed to advance in primary and secondary education the general progressive agenda of centralization and uniformity.
Understandably, proponents of the Common Core want its nature and purpose to remain as cloudy as possible for as long as possible. Hence they say it is a state-led, voluntary initiative to merely guide education with standards that are neither written nor approved nor mandated by Washington, which would never, ever prescribe a national curriculum. Proponents talk warily when describing it because a candid characterization would reveal yet another Obama administration indifference to legality.
EXCERPT
Common with what, no one seems to know.
Islam is being taught in US schools through common core-See list of recent reports of Islam in schools here MA, MS, MD, TN, CA, etc.
