I know what you mean. Perhaps the most effective means of fighting will come from within. Best of luck. :)

Considered leaving, doing a "Galt", but if you were a democrat, could you simply leave the party to those socialists you opposed?
Still fighting the battle from inside, losing or not.

I miss those kind... much more honest...

As a public school teacher I pulled my daughter out, no longer teach and home school her.

LEAVE, while you still have the option to leave and add to the numbers that will stop them from pushing this agenda on everyone else.

Advice from a JFK Democrat, not a modern Democrat.

Any program, project, etc. using the word "common" in its title should be suspect.

And don't forget the "common" terms like: "for your safety" and "for the children." Just like in the Soviet Union - if the government says something, it must be lie. Looks like the West won most of the battles in the Cold War, but lost the war.

When I was a little boy and the communists took over a country, they immediately set up re-education camps where adults had the joys of Marxism drummed into their heads. In America, Common Core will insure that no thought of independence or Individual Rights will ever cross the minds of the young and brainwashed.

The re-education in the public schools has gotten to the point that home-schooling, at any price and at any level is the only way to prevent your child from becoming a government drone. With my background in the Soviet Union, I can clearly see the parallels. But, I should add, at least the Soviet system provided very solid technical education, when as the US system provides no education all all.

We have a small business and have employed most of the teenagers in the neighborhood. They come to us for part time work when 14 or 15 and stay until they graduate from high school. This is seasonal work, so we see them in the summers and the break gives us a convenient way to see the changes from year to year. They come to us bright eyed, often intelligent and willing to work. Every year, they get dumber and dumber; by the time they graduate they are almost useless - in other words, ready to join the McDonald's hamburger flipper team, or become a union member, or a government employee - any job function that they are assigned to occupy. We talk to them, ask them what they study, what they read. Not once had anyone mentioned a real book; their basic arithmetic skills are non-existent, asking them to add fractions is a waste of time. This is in a fairly well to do neighborhood where most people are professionally employed and expect most of their children to go to college.

Another item - many of the kids are on prescription medication because the school, parents, or whoever, considers them to be unruly, e.g., ADD. Most of them are normal kids who show signs of independence and the drugs put an end to that.

I will. Thanks for the note.

I think you are misinformed. Keep researching please.

Thank you for this!
