“Those who have the priv­i­lege to know, have the duty to act.” ‑Albert Einstein Ani­ta B. Hoge Oba­ma and ‘Con­ser­v­a­tive’ Groups Use Bait and Switch Tac­tics. They are using the momen­tum against Com­mon Core to com­plete and fur­ther their agenda—“Choice” and Char­ter Schools. The truth has uneasy con­se­quences. ‘Con­ser­v­a­tives’ and Repub­li­cans are reveal­ing their so-called “Choice […]

The Com­mon Core edu­ca­tion­al ini­tia­tive, accord­ing to its offi­cial web­site, strives to pro­vide “a set of high-qual­i­ty aca­d­e­m­ic stan­dards in math­e­mat­ics and Eng­lish lan­guage arts/literacy.” Its crit­ics, how­ev­er, see it very dif­fer­ent­ly. This oppo­si­tion, led by pro­fes­sors of edu­ca­tion, math­e­mati­cians, for­mer mem­bers of the Depart­ment of Edu­ca­tion, the largest teach­ers’ union in the coun­try, and […]

Before I explain why I have decid­ed to join the cur­rent dis­cus­sion sur­round­ing the remake of the AP US His­to­ry (“APUSH”) course, let’s remem­ber that most peo­ple who have ever sought fun­da­men­tal trans­for­ma­tions of the real world as it cur­rent­ly exists think of his­to­ry as a con­scious­ness alter­ing tool. We will nev­er get back to […]

Do you ever won­der where these titles come from? The sec­ond part comes from descrip­tions in the 2004 book The Great Adven­ture: Toward a Ful­ly Human The­o­ry of Evo­lu­tion that I will end this post with. First it described elim­i­nat­ing the “bricks and mor­tar” of the tra­di­tion-ori­ent­ed log­i­cal mind. Lat­er, the same book, hav­ing laid […]

Dr. Duke Pesta Dr. Duke Pes­ta reveals the chill­ing truth behind the Com­mon Core nation­al edu­ca­tion­al “stan­dards”. Com­mon Core rep­re­sents the lat­est and most com­pre­hen­sive step in the dri­ve toward com­plete gov­ern­ment con­trol of our chil­dren’s edu­ca­tion. Watch this spe­cial pre­sen­ta­tion expos­ing the truth about Com­mon Core and the ongo­ing strug­gle to roll back its imple­men­ta­tion.  Dr. Pes­ta […]

Once again, par­ents who hand over their chil­dren to state indoc­tri­na­tion cen­ters, aka Pub­lic Schools, are shocked at what they find god­less edu­ca­tion sys­tems are putting in front of their kids. Latonya Steven­son came across graph­ics in her child’s text­book that she called “very pornographic.” The book I’m ref­er­enc­ing is called Your Health Today, which […]

Think of me today as hold­ing a micro­phone breath­less­ly inform­ing every­one that I am report­ing live from inves­ti­gat­ing a pot of water that is already at a sim­mer and it’s big enough to hold each of us. The pot has been designed to slow­ly come to a full rolling boil grad­u­al­ly so we will not […]

This arti­cle reflects the direc­tion of edu­ca­tion glob­al­ly as is being imple­ment­ed in the US by way of Com­mon Core. Com­mon Core is the attempt to trans­form soci­ety through edu­ca­tion for com­mu­ni­tar­i­an­ism. (White-wash­ing one’s self)   All the ref­er­ences to Glob­al Com­pe­ten­cy or World Cit­i­zen­ship may have us look­ing for a new flag we will be […]

David Cole­man, Pres­i­dent of The Col­lege Board, and author of Com­mon Core State Standards New his­tory cur­ricu­lum stan­dards pro­posed for top high school stu­dents leave out such Amer­i­can icons as Ben­jamin Franklin and Mar­tin Luther King, Jr., paint colonists as big­ots and gloss over the Great­est Generation’s fight to save the world from Nazi Ger­many, […]

The Com­mon Core — a set of edu­ca­tion stan­dards adopt­ed by near­ly every U.S. state — was built on the idea that stu­dents should be able to think crit­i­cal­ly rather than just mem­o­rize mate­r­i­al for tests. It’s a good goal. A com­mon and valid crit­i­cism of Amer­i­can edu­ca­tion is that it focus­es too much on rote […]

May 23, 2014 Over 150 par­ents, edu­ca­tors and oth­er inter­est­ed mem­bers of the com­mu­ni­ty came to hear a pan­el of experts spell out the myr­i­ad of prob­lems with the Com­mon Core State Stan­dards Ini­tia­tive and stu­dent data min­ing. Kevin Snider of the Pacif­ic Jus­tice Insti­tute mod­er­at­ed as Antho­ny Cody, Bill Evers, Orlean Koehle and Ze’ev Wur­man […]
