If you have kids in school you need to read what Obama wants to do with your kids.  Don't buy into it, America.

Common Core- is unlawful, since it violates federal laws that specifically prohibit the federal government from having any say over curriculum or tests.

Like Obamacare, Obama Core Is Another Power Grab

·      

• Phyllis Schlafly

When we list the areas that Barack Obama wants to "fundamentally transform," as he promised before his 2008 election, let's not overlook his plans for education. They are as fundamentally transformational, costly and dictatorial as Obamacare.

It's well-known that public schools are not graduating students as well-educated as before, that Americans score poorly on international tests, and that billions of federal dollars showered on public schools have not achieved any of the designated goals, which were to raise test scores and to eliminate the gap between higher income and lower income students. The Obama progressives want us to believe that the remedy is to turn over total control to the federal government.

That's illogical and unacceptable, but it fits right in with Obama's attitude that there is no higher power than the federal government. If Obama is reelected, he will be able to accomplish this task with help from Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, a graduate of Chicago politics.

So the Obama Administration has latched onto a national education curriculum called Common Core that was launched by the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers in 2009. Those organizations have very official names as though they are government agencies, but they are actually private groups financed by foundations, such as Gates and various corporations.

Their plan is to induce all elementary and secondary schools to accept a comprehensive national education system that will enforce a national curriculum. National standards will be locked in by the tests students must take called assessments, which in turn are tied to teacher evaluation. The standards instruct the teachers what to teach so their pupils can pass the tests and teachers can get positive evaluations.

This process bypasses parents and state and local school boards, and will fundamentally transform education by dictating what every child will learn and not learn. Of course, the Obama crowd loves this because a takeover of the education system could be as consequential as the takeover of banks "too big to fail," or of General Motors, or of the health care industry with Obamacare.

No Child Left Behind was a step in this direction, but it allowed the states to set their own standards. Common Core, on the other hand,requires all states to adopt the same federally endorsed standards.

This will be achieved by carrot-and-stick methodology. The carrot is the offer of federal money, such as Race to the Top money granted if, and only if, the states first adopt the Common Core standards. The stick is the threat to withhold federal funds from states that don't obey.

Cato Institute researchers have concluded that, despite the claim that the adoption of Common Core standards is technically voluntary, "adoption will almost certainly be de facto involuntary, and the standards themselves ultimately federal."

What some opponents are now calling "Obama Core" ought to be held unconstitutional because the federal government has no power over education under the Constitution. Furthermore,Obama Core is unlawful, since it violates federal laws that specifically prohibit the federal government from having any say over curriculum or tests.

The essence of Obama Core is control of curriculum because that is where minds are molded and stimulated to higher levels of learning and character is formed. The standards for math and English literature are the only two subjects that have so far been released, and even those were made public only after the majority of states had signed up to use Obama Core.

Many parents will recognize the math standards as "Fuzzy Math," i.e., teaching very little arithmetic or standard algorithms, and class time wasted in having kids describe how they got their answers instead of teaching them the best way to get correct answers. The English and literature standards are worse because they omit traditional and classical literature, confine kids to boring informational readings such as instruction manuals, and fail to teach cursive writing.

The so-called standards are set low enough for most students to pass the tests. Education commentators say that the graduation standards do not prepare students for college work, and some admit that the goal is only to move kids to two-year community colleges with open admission.

The Obama Core advocates are even planning to impose their standards on private schools. As the school choice movement grows, the attempt will be made to force any private or charter school that accepts public funds to adopt Common Core standards and have their students take the national tests.

Obama Core is a comprehensive plan to dumb down schoolchildren so they will be obedient servants of the government and probably to indoctrinate them to accept the leftwing view of America and its history as Hitler did in Germany in 1933 and 1934.

FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE WITH CHILDREN!

At approximately 2:30ish pm, September 6, 2012, I entered the Kroger store on SR 28 in Goshen Ohio to pick up a few items.  I gathered my items and went to the "10 and under" register to check-out. 

The person in front of me (white female, approximate age 35-43, fake nails, big braided hair do, clean clothes, carrying a purse and a plastic drinking cup) put her purchase on the check out surface – ONE GRAPE.  Yes, that is correct ONE GRAPE.  The cashier asked if that was all, she replied yes.  

The cashier then weighted the GRAPE and told the women the cost was $.02 (TWO CENTS), the women then pulled out her EBT card (credit card for food stamps) and swiped it through the credit card machine, requesting $24.00 in cash back.  

The cashier asked if she wanted the GRAPE, the woman replied no and the GRAPE was put in the garbage can.  The register recorded the sale as .02, cash back $24.00, credit .02, total $24.00 cash back.  The cashier then asked if two fives would be okay because she was out of tens, the woman agreed and took the $24.00 folded it up and put it in her pocket and left the store. 

As the next person in line I asked the cashier “as a tax payer what in the world just happened here?”  

She said she was on the clock and could not comment.  

I then asked if I had actually seen this person purchase and discard a GRAPE, then get cash back on her EBT card.  

The cashier responded that it happens all day every day in their store.  She also said that if the person buying the GRAPE has it ring up over .02 they get mad and make her reweigh it.

My next comment was to ask the cashier if she planned to vote in November and she said she could hardly wait for 11/6/12 to get here as one tax payer to another.  I paid for my groceries, in cash, and left the store madder than 10 wet hens. 

This is not one of those stories that a friend of a friend told a friend – I WITNESSED THIS AND WOULD LOVE TO TESTIFY IN COURT TO WHAT I SAW, however, it is apparently not illegal to go into a grocery store and buy a GRAPE, throw it away and take cash back from a food stamp EBT card and walk out the door.  If she is so poor she needs food stamps why in the world didn’t she buy groceries? 

Please send this to everyone you know.  This needs to get out to the public.  

If we don’t get the takers stopped, we are all doomed. If you are sick of being "taken," you know how to vote on NOVEMBER 6!
