Unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers, who brought Obama into the political scene, is involved deeply in education.
He and his anti-American ilk are responsible for common core and many other anti-American issues concerning the education of our children
See this article:
You are wrong. “The state-led effort to develop the Common Core State Standards was launched in 2009 by state leaders, including governors and state commissioners of education from 48 states, two territories and the District of Columbia, through their membership in the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO). State school chiefs and governors recognized the value of consistent, real-world learning goals and launched this effort to ensure all students, regardless of where they live, are graduating high school prepared for college, career, and life.

Part of where they went wrong is that they oriented their standards to college, career, and life (presumably middle class). What our schools in many places are failing to do is prepare people for work that is NOT college and career oriented, and thus not preparing them for work as carpenters, plumbers, electricians, sheet metal workers, high rise construction workers, heavy equipment drivers, etc. With so much of physical education being dropped from schools, many are not even physically capable of such work. Many Trump voters are drawn from the group who have been utterly neglected with regard to education to do those kinds of work. Instead, businesses have relied on cheap foreign laborers. I seriously question whether a very rich woman who has NO public school experience or exposure will even be aware of this core problem facing the common man.
