Leftist "Common Core" is dumbing down American students. (Kennedy, parties)

[O.C. Ogilvy]

Leftists want to make everything complicated, even a simple subtraction problem. If you don't think, you will vote for the leftists in both the Democratic Party and the GOP. Democracy exists to inhibit change. Wake up America.

Uh, it started with George W Bush and "no child left behind".

When will some of you people get it through your heads that both political parties have been bought and paid for and essentially have the same puppet masters?

I already have. I mentioned leftists in both parties, didn't I?

No it's not the left. It's the Progressives that don't even hold government office.

CC was designed and written by 2007. It took until 2009 to get the USG involved.
The Board of Governors was brought in AFTER it was written.

It cracks me up every time Common Core gets blamed on the 'leftists'.

And then the retort is "But Bush started it with NCLB".

If anyone wants to really dive down the rabbit hole you start with Achieve Inc.
Then follow the money.
It's Progressive and global.

Has nothing to do with Dems or Repubs.

Bush's NCLB is Ted Kennedy's brainchild that he was pushing for years.

Interesting- not familiar with it but I wouldn't doubt it.

The problem with Common Core (or should that be "Communist Core"?) is that things that are supposed to be absolute are now up for debate. Since when does 2 plus 2 not equal 4?

There are still such things as right and wrong answers. Nothing can change that.
