Independent American Party: Stop Common Core, Sign the Petition

From the IAP website:

Common Core standards threaten parents’ rights, children’s privacy, and traditional American values.

President Obama supports Common Core’s Progressive education standards and wants every child in America to obey Washington D.C.’s rules.

But American children shouldn’t be tracked, monitored, and educated from DC. And their parents should have a voice in their child’s education.

SIGN THE PETITION TO STOP COMMON CORE’S FEDERAL TAKEOVER OF EDUCATION IN 2015.

    It’s certainly a problem that government is involved in education, but common core takes it to another level.

    I’m with Thane. Common Core is just a boogeyman. The problem is that government is in the education business.

    True, but I would think the IAP does.

    Paulie: I often hear from candidates running for the U.S. House that are for local control and defunding Common Core, but those candidates stop short of saying we need to eliminating the Department of Education. In the Montana U.S. House race the Libertarian was saying we needed to eliminate the DoE and send that money back to the states, since education is local. The Republican candidate wanted to defund common core, and thought education was local, but still supported a Federal agency. Even though Reagan was all talk, he at least said we needed to get rid of the Department of Education. Most Republican candidates don’t want a top down model in Education, yet they won’t come out for its elimination.

    David: Where’s this support of the DoE of which you speak?

    You know, even if he doesn’t have Christ-like views, or follows all the teachings of the church that we both belong too, at least Kelly Gneiting is Christ-like in his attitude and approach most of the time.

    Unlike Don Grundmann.

    All these folks may talk about local control of education, but still support spending all this money for the Department of Education.

    Washington, DC is already in control of education in every of the 50 states. Common Core is only a shiny ball distracting people from the fact that if Washington, DC is doling out the money it is also telling the recipient which dance to dance too.
