Last night we had an epic, packed, storming of the castle at the Utah State Capitol. Over four hundred people jammed into the capitol to demand a cease and desist on Common Core.

Wait, stop the presses…

Bill Gates has now set the record straight over at USA Today, guess I won’t bother to type up this post because hey, “he said so” and if Bill says Common Core is GOOD, well, who am I to question.

From his holiness Master Gates:

“Americans want students to get the best education possible. We want schools to prepare children to become good citizens and members of a prosperous American economy. The Common Core standards were carefully conceived with these two goals in mind. It would be a shame if myths and misunderstandings got in the way.”

Hmmm…

Myths and Misunderstandings…

The parents and educators in Massachusetts who formed the Pioneer Institute and did the difficult work of building consensus around what a world class education looks like have chimed in on the facts surrounding the Common Core.

These are the people who took on the challenging task of hammering out what a real public education should look like, and you know what? When Bill gathered his little posse’ of consensus builders, he forgot to ask these guys for advice. Perhaps if he had hired a few of them to help write the history texts they would have argued with him that a four color page spread bio on the little God King would be Petty Tyrant known as the Maven of Microsoft might not be a good idea.

A quote from this article at Front Page Magazine:

“And as national social studies standards now come rolling in they will also learn about new American heroes, like Common Core’s biggest funder, billionaire Bill Gates. One elementary school textbook published by Pearson, the giant international publishing company that has helped develop Common Core tests, contains several pages of tribute to him.”

The funniest development in the news today was that articles in The New York Times, Washington Post, Politico, and Deseret News all sheepishly admitted that those opposing Common Core are not just wild eyed home makers.

I could just see all those editors who have dumped on us education activists for the past two years saying to themselves, “Oh Crap, now the education establishment and progressive left is dumping on Common Core too.”

I kinda feel sorry for the poor saps. Who knew a day would ever come when Glenn Beck and New York Educrats would ever agree on anything?

Common Core and Agenda 21

January 29, 2014Jenny Marie Hatch Leave a comment

I have been researching Common Core ever since I heard the term last year. Yesterday I finally put it all together and realized that Agenda 21, which I have long known about and exposed here on my blog and at Blogging Mothers Magazine was in fact going to be further put into action by the Common Core roll out across the nation.

The same people who have been setting up Obamacare, the NSA Infrastructure, as well as the Global Education framework are those who have been shoving Common Core on the nation.

I would like to challenge the powers that be to arrest Bill Gates for Crimes against Humanity. He is NOT god and the pure devastation that has followed his activities around the globe, particularly his depopulation efforts using Vaccines to sterilize young women should be exposed and confronted.

It is my prayer by this time next year that he is safely locked away from humanity and his money doled out to the many victims of his nefarious deeds.

Death to the United Nations and Agenda 21!

Here are two videos that challenge the notion of a state led effort around Common Core:

And here is the LINK to an amazing analysis by Christel Swaysey at What is Common Core BLOG connecting more Globalist Dots.

Her article titled A Global Monitoring Report From the International Bureau of Education is a must read, as are all of the posts that expose the Agenda 21 Connection to Common Core. Click HERE to read them all.

This very detailed lecture by Clint Richardson connects all of the Agenda 21 dots regarding Common Core.

Keep calm and Obliterate Common Core

Here are a few articles, columns, memes and videos to share on your Mom Blogs that I found around the web this week.

Best opinion piece of the week was from George Will:

George F. Will: Opposition to common core surging as skepticism takes hold

“Opposition to the Common Core is surging because Washington, hoping to mollify opponents, is saying, in effect: “If you like your local control of education, you can keep it. Period.” To which a burgeoning movement is responding: “No. Period.”

Parents homeschooling children in response to Common Core standards

“WICHITA, Kan. — Just mention the Common Core and you’ll get a reaction from parents Justin and Jennifer Dahlmann.

“We both get a little tight in the chest,” Justin said.

The Dahlmann’s have four girls ranging in age from 2 to 9. They say they noticed the kids were beginning to struggle in school recently. They didn’t know why.

Then, Justin, a former educator, says they found out the new Common Core math and English standards had been implemented at their children’s private school.

“Our own kids were taking these standards that are driving the curriculum and we didn’t know anything about it,” Justin said. “That’s when we started doing the research on it and realized how overbearing it was.”

…”For the Dahlmann’s, homeschooling their children is, in essence, a form of protest of the “overbearing” standards they believe are coming from “the top down.”

They say what concerns them the most is that most parents have been told little, if anything, about the standards.

They hope no matter the conclusion parents reach, they at least take a closer look and ask questions about what their children are being taught.

“If this does nothing more than wake people up to becoming more involved with their children, that’s great,” Justin said. “But absolutely parents need to become more involved in this.”

The time is now to jump into the conversation. More parents and educators than ever are aware and watching.
