My Child is Not Common

"My child is not common" are the words on the attention-getting signs carried by a group of White and African-American mothers protesting the adoption of the aggressively promoted Common Core standards. Common Core is scheduled to take over the testing of all U.S. kids, pre-K to 12, but parents are saying 'no-way' in every way they can.

As Common Core keeps plodding right ahead in most states, parents are finding plenty to criticize in the curriculum. Parents think that the maths questions that children bring home are incomprehensible and stupid.New York parents are objecting to the fact that the Common Core social studies standards is founded on the democratic principles of equality, fairness and respect for authority but don't mention liberty, and Alabama parents are objecting to the pornography in assigned readings.

Bill Gates has spent $2.3 billion on Common Core.
