Mission


To Eliminate Common Core from school systems in New York State

Description


Do you know what Common Core is? Most people never heard of it.

Quietly and almost without notice, an initiative which significantly erodes local and state control of school curriculum has passed in 46 states. The Common Core Standards Initiative sets Math and English curriculum in every participating state at the same level. In adopting this “common core” states are relinquishing their right to compose their own education requirements.

In addition parent will not have a say in their children's education. Privacy rights are voided under Common Core. Please let everyone you know that time is short.

"Common Core was enabled by Obama’s federal stimulus law and his Department of Education’s “Race to the Top” gimmickry. The administration bribed cash-starved states into adopting unseen instructional standards as a condition of winning billions of dollars in grants. Even states that lost their bids for Race to the Top money were required to commit to a dumbed-down and amorphous curricular “alignment.” - Michelle Malkin

Common Core is rotting the minds of our kids.
