Why is this important?
Common Core State Standards (CCSS) was written by a business trade group that has had significant ramifications on public education. States agreed to these Standards, sight unseen, even though they are age-inappropriate, especially for our primary students, and make the false assumption that all children learn at the same pace, thus the use of the word "common." It is an affront to education, has resulted in the loss of local autonomy for learning, and has unnecessarily diverted millions from school budgets that would be better spent in the classroom. CC$$ is the means for rich billionaires like Bill Gates and The Koch Bros to profit from the billions spent on education. It is a covert attack to dismantle public education and it must be STOPPED!
