Here's a story out of Towson, MD, where concerned dad, Robert Small, tried asking some tough questions about Common Core, a pending, big government, one-size fits-all curriculum. Because of this "brazen" behavior, he was manhandled out of the meeting.
Mr. Small was nearly charged with assaulting a police officer. Fortunately, the charges were dropped--but not without an admonition from the County's Attorney General's office declaring Mr. Small was disruptive and violated the rules of the meeting.
But then again, it wasn't really a "meeting" was it? You know, a get-together involving two-way discussions. Instead this was intended as a briefing with no room for Q&A.
Since I don't have any children enrolled in any K-12 Indoctrination (formerly known as "public school"), I had no idea what this Common Core was all about.
Based on the wikipedia entry and the Common Core Standards website, it all sounds great and but a few hold-out states, Maryland being one of them, are on board.
But, like Obamacare, it's what's underneath the surface that has many of like-minded folks riled. YouTube policital & social commentator, Julie Borowski reveals some of the problems with Common Core.
