Tater will show up if they are grillin' double cheeseburgers.
Heck....I'd show up if they were grillin' double cheeseburgers.
Are you advising readers to stop the rally or telling us about a rally involving people who want to stop common core?
" ...with the goal of stopping and replacing Common Core with higher educational standards..."???
I thought CC was based upon higher educational goals/standards. Now they want it even higher? In a state where the average ACT score is below 20?
First its too hard, now we are going to make the standards higher....make your mind up already about why you don't like CC...
Pure political posturing by the politicians - I wonder when we'll ever see leadership again rather than pandering?
2:53 - cause it's communism, OBAMACORE, socialism, and every other ism their is.
Ask any of the speakers specifically which standard(s) they object to, and why, and they can't answer. Because they're too lazy to really study the issue. Angela Hill, the leader of the pack, said on the floor of the Senate that all that we need to teach children is Flash Cards!
That's the kind of thinking and leadership that has gotten us in the great shape we're in.
This is pure pandering.
Do we still want to teach that Christopher Columbus discovered America? Never mind the people that were already here...
Do we still want to teach math with an abacus? or BASIC computer language? It was good enough in 1975...
Or that the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor- wait, that's from my time at Faber College...
Or that Lincoln aboloshised slavery with the Emancipation Proclamation? Or that Eli Whitney and George Washington were negroes? Or that the "Civil War" was fought over slavery? Or that the first obligation of government is to care for the people?
@6:43 - But I enjoyed my BASIC course I took at Chastain back in the 90s. Or was it because I played Kings Quest instead of learnin'
