"I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power." - Thomas Jefferson 1820

"There is a growing technology of testing that permits us now to do in nanoseconds things that we shouldn't be doing at all." - Dr. Gerald Bracey author of Rotten Apples in Education

Missouri Education Watchdog Lands in a Heritage Foundation Video on Nationalized Standards

Missouri Education goes national on the Heritage Foundation website!

We are interviewed in this video, "The Danger of National Standards", which addresses the problems and constitutional issues raised in the adoption and implementation of common core standards.

The video features Governors Rick Perry and Nikki Haley, Representative Rob Bishop and other public officials. The Heritage Foundation shares the same concerns we have regarding state sovereignty and underfunded debt from federal mandates by agreeing to these standards.

It is time to send this video to your legislators. Ask them why they are not supporting federalism.
