“Common Core is an undisputed and unmitigated disaster. The two rollout states, New York and Florida, are already taking steps to remove themselves from Common Core. This is largely due to the fact that both New York’s and Florida’s student test scores have gone into the toilet since they embraced Common Core. Many advocates are clamoring for the dismantling of this UN inspired approach to education which perverts both math and English and will force children to read government propaganda as opposed to classic literature.”
“All federalized education programs have thrown billions of taxpayer dollars down the toilet, while contributing to the dramatic decrease in student performance. For example, SAT Reading scores, for the high school class of 2012, reached a 40+ year low since the implementation of No Child Left Behind. (NCLB). Common Core is NCLB on steroids.”

“Dr. Duke Pesta is a English professor from the University of Wisconsin. He is also one of the leading voices in the country, speaking out against the Common Core Curriculum. Pesta speaks clearly to the fact that our children’s appreciation of the classics is in real jeopardy. Under Common Core, children are exposed to 50% informational texts as opposed to 100% traditional classic literature as has always been the case. Dr. Pesta, listed in the video below, clearly states that 50% of the classics will be replaced by children being forced to read Obama’s Executive Orders, unchallenged climate change documents with no dissenting opinion and various social justice documents. Pesta also claims that home-schooling is not a viable option for escaping the Common Core Curriculum because the ACT and the SAT have been taken over by Common Core advocates and are changing the tests to reflect the Common Core Curriculum. The globalists have us coming and going.”
Charlotte Iserbyt Weighs In – “As bad as Common Core is, according to Charlotte Iserbyt, Common Core is a distraction and its ultimate purpose is to destroy public education. Iserbyt, a former Senior Policy Educational Analyst under President Reagan, states that School Choice is the real enemy. Iserbyt feels that Common Core is so egregious it will lead to a mass exodus to charter schools in order to escape its pitfalls. She is leery of charter schools because of the fact that they do not have elected school boards. And therefore, charter schools are free to input any curriculum without any parental opposition because charter schools do not have elected school boards. Ultimately, School Choice initiatives will prove to be the death of parental control over education and the schools will become bastions of a Hitler Youth Movement. In which free-flowing government propaganda will inundate our children with Agenda 21, globalist views. Remember, Professor Pesta stated that 50% of a literature class will be filled with students reading things like Presidential Executive Orders.
Iserbyt’s views seem to be justified because, Huppenthal is making robocalls to Arizona citizens and encouraging them to spend their “school choice vouchers” on private education. This should be an impeachable offense in that the State Superintendent of Education would be, in any way, lobbying for public schools to go to anything but a public school. Why would head of Arizona’s education system advocate for the erosion of Arizona’s public education system? My answer would be the same reason as to why the banksters installed Obama as the President.
It seems the prudent course of action would consist of removing Common Core from the public schools and restoring the oversight of education to where it belongs, with local school boards. Once local schools are removed from Common Core, then it is time to truly reform our schools with local oversight, not federally mandated controls. This is a doable task because citizens can exact pressure on local legislators to abandon Common Core.
Meanwhile, the globalist brainwashing of your children continues full speed ahead.”
Parents around the nation are upset at Common Core practices in schools. They claim the system does not allow schools, or students, to properly test students. Proponents of Common Core teaching say the system provides schools with a consistent learning path. Supporters claim teachers and students have a clear idea of what is to be taught, and learned, in different subjects. Many critics of this style of teaching say the curriculum discourages diversity.
So far, 45 states and the District of Columbia have adopted the standards. When the curriculum was first developed, many conservatives felt it represented a federal takeover of education. The Obama Administration strongly supports the ideals of Common Core. Now, opposition is brewing to the standards from liberal groups.
Doctor Duke Pesta is a English professor from the University of Wisconsin. He is also one of the leading voices in the country, speaking out against the Common Core Curriculum.
Pesta is our guest on the show today. He is here to talk about the standards, as well as some of the problems with Common Core education. We will discuss the possible threat these standards hold for American education.
