[Common Core
Standards: Why States Are Now Saying, 'No,
Thank You' Takepart.com ] "All but four
states have adopted the complete Common Core
Standards.
Those four states—Texas, Virginia, Alaska,
and Nebraska—have been slow to warm to the
uniform, but divisive, national standards
for public school testing. Minnesota chose
to adopt only the reading standards and
declined the math standards.
Meanwhile, several other states, according
to the Associated Press, are pushing back
against the standards after formally
adopting them, and heated politics are now
seeping into the controversy.
Edward Fierros, a Villanova education
professor, told TakePart that the standards
have both “ardent supporters and loud
critics.”
He said, “Many educational experts agree
that the CCSS in and of themselves will have
a limited impact on improving student
learning outcomes. However, states that fail
to adopt CCSS or similar lose their
eligibility for federal Race to the Top
funds or NCLB waivers. States are required
to adopt college and career-ready standards,
and the CCSS are one way to demonstrate this
goal. What is unclear is if states lose
their eligibility for federal Race to the
Top funds or NCLB waivers if they have
already received such funding or been
granted an NCLB waiver.”
Earlier this month, Indiana Republican Gov.
Mike Pence suspended his state’s adoption of
the Common Core. He signed the Common Core
“Pause” bill into law, which stops the
implementation of the standards until state
agencies, teachers, and taxpayers better
understand what is at stake..." Full text:

[David Horowitz’s 'Go

Crosshairs Breitbart News] "David Horowitz
has a new organization called "Go For the
Heart," a 501c4, which will employ
Horowitz's 'turn the guns around on them
strategy' toward the Democrats and their
cronies who enable bad legislation and
policies that have proved disastrous to
those it is intended to help.
Go For the Heart’s first offering, a sixty
second web spot called "Atrocity,” pulls no
punches in an attempt to focus the tragedy
of failing public schools on those he sees
as responsible for the ongoing and dismal
failures of these schools: Democrats and the
Teachers Unions that support them..." Full
