Common Core Exec: 'Damn the Second Amendment'Says conservatives are "idiots."
Truth Revolt ^ | 21 Jan 16 | Trey Sanchez

Posted on 01/22/2016 4:38:26 AM PST by xzins

Project Veritas has released its third undercover video of another Common Core executive revealing the political ideology behind the national educational standards. And this time the anti-American agenda is made clear.

The featured Common Core salesperson in this video is Kim Koerber of National Geographic Education (funded by the Gates Foundation, by the way) and a former Pearson Education publishing executive. Her expressions of hatred for America's founding documents coupled with her undying love for Common Core brings the problem to an entirely new level. Plus, she brings a new meaning to the word disgust when talking about those pesky Texas conservatives:

Common Core is really important because it needs to have some cohesion between the states, and Texas keeps screwing it up over and over again.

Texas got upset about it and they wanted to have their founders, they wanted to pound the founders in it. And it's like come on!

The dead white guys did not create this country. It was a whole bunch of different kinds of people. And yes there were women, and yes there were people of color, and yes… you need to talk about them, too. But they want to talk about those dead white guys.

People who say that they want to teach the Constitution, only want to teach the part of the Constitution that they like. 

When told that Texans are upset that the Constitution isn't being covered, Koerber pushed back hard saying, " It is being covered, but not the way they -- cause they're idiots and they don't know what's in it."

"You should know a little bit about it, you shouldn't have to memorize the thing," she added.

When a Project Veritas undercover journalist spoke about the Second Amendment, Koerber interjected:

That damn Second Amendment. I don't think personal handguns need to be on anyone except the government, the police. What is the purpose of having a gun?

But Koerber wasn't done insulting conservatives, or Christians -- what she kept referring to as "those" people in Texas who keep resisting Common Core:

They don't agree with Islam, so they don't want their kids to know about it. They don't agree with birth control, so they don't want their kids to talk about it. They don't agree with math because they don't understand it. It's not the same math that they did in high school, so they don't want their kids to know about it. 

Here is a little back and forth with a PV journalist and Kroeber, continuing this line of thought (via Breitbart):

PV: I am really glad I'm here in California, whatever religious affiliation you want to take is fine, but in Texas they want to push the Christianity.

KOERBER: Because they think it's the only one.

PV: They do, and I see that.

KOERBER: That's why it's so offensive to have these prayers in the school board.

PV: Christianity is totally out of the common core?

KOERBER: Yes it is. Totally. It's not a core concept at all.

PV: But then there is a mention of other religions like Islam.

KOERBER: Yeah well you have to because...

PV: So how did Islam get worked in?

KOERBER: Islam…they said you have to talk about Islam, you have to talk about Judaism and you have to talk about Christianity and they wanted to make it big about Christianity; no it's like, everybody needs to know about everything else.

This third video in the series follows a first and second that both featured execs telling Project Veritas that Common Core has never been about children and that it is all about money. The undercover operation has been successful as one of the women featured in the first video was quickly fired for gleefully saying, "No, I hate kids. I'm in it to sell books, don't even kid yourself for a heartbeat."

Common Core is such BAD NEWS. Why aren’t all the pols, across the political spectrum, loud and clear about this, as Trump is?

Of course. Which is why every other nation on earth has a constitution, worships freedom second to God and generally enjoys the highest quality of life among the largest percentage of its population on the planet outside of liberal infested crapholes.

This is simply more proof that the politicians who support Common Core are simply naïve fools. The basic concept they wish for is OK - common standards across he country to gauge the effectiveness of schools. What they don’t and never will understand is that when a government bureaucracy runs ANYTHING it turns into a large, wasteful, agenda driven cesspool, run by self-interested tyrants who are unaccountable to normal controls. I use as examples, the IRS, EPA, UN, EU, Energy Department, Education Department,........etc. Anyone who believes in Common Core doesn’t deserve to be the dog catcher.

Interesting. I’m glad tbe Veritas people are doing this. They pick their targets well. Lots of smoke suggesting Common Core’s leftist roots, and now we see some fire. Someone needs to send this to a certain northern Alabama morning talkshow host.

Its a way to distill all the obama/sanders/hillary/bush beliefs into a teachable curriculum and force feed it to your children, one generation is all they need,

This is why they must have a clinton or a bush or one of their derivatives (rubio, christie, kasich even Sanders) or they fear their cause would be hindered,

Regardless of who gets elected, I suspect it wont be slowed down by much if at all,

Wouldn’t expect you to know who I’m talking about since he’s just a local host. He’s the morning drive guy at the big station in Huntsville which covers the northern part of the state. I’m blanking on his name. He’s pretty solid on most issues but he’s defended Common Core. He seems to consider opposition to it to be rooted in kooky conspiracy theory stuff.

I had a good visit to the space/tech museum in Huntsville once. Worth the trip.

That said, local school boards should run local schools.

I think even state level is too far away from the needs of a particular community.

Funny I didn’t notice Trump or NY values mentioned as a thorn in the side of CC but I did notice how much of a thorn in the side of CC Texas and Texas values are.

Guess you missed that right?

Does it blow your mind like it does mine that Yeb is getting crushed in his own state by Trump?

Perhaps he didn’t have as successful a governorship as he claims he did.
