Corporatist Takeover of Public Education via Anita Hoge

I just read the following piece written by a lady named Anita Hoge.  I don't know her or anything about her beyond this piece.  I don't know what religion she is, what politics she ascribes to or what her dog is in this hunt.  I do know that she has documented all in one place what I have learned, what I have experienced,  and what I essentially believe to be pretty darn close to completely accurate.

A must read. The whole picture for changing the governance of our public schools.  Below is Anita Hoge's  plan to defeat the corporatist takeover. It's not easy.  It won't happen if the majority of people are unaware or just sit back and expect others to do it.  The ability to overcome it though lies in the fact that YOU OWN the essential HUMAN CAPITAL that is needed to make the profits that fuel the agenda - YOUR CHILDREN!  Do NOT turn them over to these corporations.  Note this statement in particular:You must also fight the Common Core Standards and do not be side-tracked by the debate of which standard is best.    It's not the Standards Stupid!  It's the Initiative and it has to GO!  Don't let YOUR children take the test. Radical I know, but it's not the most radical thing our citizens have had to do in our brief history as a nation now is it?!!
