MORE's Patrick Walsh: Fear and Loathing and the Common Core
... everything about the Common Core State Standards
Initiative, beginning with its name, stinks to high heaven. Everything about this privately funded, privately owned, secretly created scheme, sponsored by the un-elected National Governors Association and given pseudo academic legitimacy by the equally unelected but lofty sounding Council Of Chief State School Officers, is meant to obscure or hide altogether what the Common Core is, why it exists and how it came — ready or not – to be rammed down the throat of almost every school kid in American — including the ten year olds I saw pointlessly suffer through it the past three days. --- Patrick Walsh
While MORE as an organization has not delved into the common core waters, most MOREs like Patrick are strongly against it. I for one am against it because people like Susan Ohanian and Leonie Haimson are against it
