"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

Who's Looking At ObamaCORE?

The people of the Utah Republic have done a great job pulling together the facts about Common Core Standards.  They are asking the questions we at MEW want answered: How is what's happening in American education any different than what's happening with American healthcare? Why aren't more people rising up against what the federal government is doing to education in their state?


We know ObamaCare will Destroy America... Who’s looking at ObamaCORE?
Bill Gates is funding Obama’s takeover of K-12 education and no one is blinking an eye.
• 45 states are implementing ObamaCORE...Obama’s unconstitutional Common Core State Standards for K-12 education which are national (international) standards & assessments created by two assessment companies funded by the 2008 stimulus.
The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) developed the
United Nations Millennium Declaration. The OECD sits on the Bill Gates-funded Advisory Group to the National Governor’s Association to implement the Common Core State Standards.[1]

Q: Why does it matter that Bill Gates is financing the United Nations Millennium Development Goals?
A: 2 of their 8 goals are Universal Education & Sustainable Development (Agenda 21).
Gate’s money funds the UN’s goals and they’re being implemented in our local K-12 schools right now!
Q: Why did Microsoft (Gates) sign a contract with UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) in 2004? [2]
A: "to remold the entire American system" into "a seamless web that literally extends from cradle to grave and is the same system for everyone," coordinated by "a system of labor market boards at the local, state and federal levels" where curriculum & "job matching" will be handled by counselors "accessing the integrated computer-based program." [3]
Education Secretary Arne Duncan at the Sustainability Education Summit in Sept. 2011 said,
"Today, I promise you that [the Department of Education] will be a committed partner in the national effort to build a more environmentally literate and responsible society... We must advance the sustainability movement through education... Education and sustainability are the keys to our economic future-and our ecological future. [4]
The UN called 2005-2014 the “Decade of Education for Sustainable Development.” [5]
By 2014, their education “standards” will be implemented into K-12 American Education.

There is a great timeline for CCCS on their website. We have covered it before on MEW but follow their link if you need a concise refresher.

With Common Core Standards the federal government is telling you what the minimum coverage policy is and that you must buy it, whether you can afford it or not and whether you want it or not. There are companies in the education business, just like there are in insurance,  who are more than  happy to have the federal government mandate more business for them. And just as  insurance coverage does not guarantee you access to medical care (see Canada or the UK), having common core standards does not guarantee your child academic success. Neither program addresses the real problems in these areas, and the cynic in me believes they were never intended to. Where are the rallies and candidate promises to fight Common Core Standards like they promise to fight Obamacare?

Nancy Pelosi's New Childcare Goal is a Compelling Reason to Make Sure She is Never Speaker of the House Again. Ever.


Hotair had this posting about what Nancy Pelosi envisions for American children:

Pelosi told The Washington Post that at the top of her to-do list as the reinstated Speaker would be “doing for childcare what we did for healthcare reform.”

Yikes. If the government does for childcare what it did for healthcare reform, then that would mean government educational mandates for families and children with no real individual and/or local choice or directives in public education. That doesn't sound appealing (or Constitutional) to me, does it to you?

That's what is currently happening via Common Core standards on the K-12 level. Nationalized assessments, standards and curriculum take the pesky and constitutional duty of allowing individual states and districts from making decisions for their students. A centralized government is being foisted onto states and districts via mandates in the educational and health areas. To complete the educational circle, Pelosi wants to expand governmental intrusion (no, "assistance") in the pre-K realm now. She states:

“I could never get a babysitter — have five kids in six years and no one wants to come to your house. … And everywhere I go, women say the same thing” about how hard it is to find the kind of reliable care that would make their family lives calmer and work lives more productive. When it comes to “unleashing women” in a way that would boost the economy, she says, “this is a missing link.”

Pelosi wants to "unleash women" in a way that will boost the economy, not "nudge" them into becoming full-time mothers who nurture, teach and love the next generation. I suppose "human capital" is deemed wasted if a woman decides she wants to direct her own children's upbringing instead of turning them over to some governmental employee for pay. Pelosi makes it clear. Women are to be used in the workplace to help the country rather than stay at home to raise the children who are the family's (not the government's) primary responsibility.

How do you think farming out young children to daycare works out so the women can "boost the economy"?

Studies show that children who spend longer hours (30 hours/week) in daycare are more likely to exhibit problematic social behaviors including aggression, conflict, poorer work habits and risk-taking behaviors.

Read our previous post on "Democrats Abroad" and the platform they want the DNC to adopt on behalf of children. It seems as if Nancy Pelosi is totally on board with her vision of the government providing childcare so the women can help the economy instead of their families. What does the resolution call for and where the principles for the resolution originate?

WHEREAS education is a human right and public responsibility to provide all children and young people with the opportunity to realize their full potential (Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 26, UNESCO).

Health care reform is education reform is healthcare reform is education reform....it's all the same. It's centralization not based in the Constitution, but in UN declarations. There's been pushback and legal challenges by grassroots groups against healthcare "reform"...where is the outcry for the education "reform" that will only create more control and less individual freedom?
