Common Core is nefarious and supporters of the program focus on preserving the current public school structure vice what is best for education. While I have no issue with having a national litmus for grade level advancement, I do take issue in how that child attains that level. If the standard is by such-and-such a grade, a child should be able to answer the question x+y=z, fine but leave the process out of the standard. Common Core, however mandates that the child MUST utilize a convoluted methodology to attain the answer. That methodology appears to be a ‘dumbing down’ of mathematics as well as willful ignorance of American history.
The child must deny God and accept perverted sexual indoctrination, all while ignoring history.
