[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I don't get it. I thought that the whole point of schools was to be a major influence on education.

That is why it needs to be at the local level where parents can control it.[/quote]

Exactly. There is recent footage of a man in NH being ARRESTED for going over the 2 minute talk rule at a school board meeting at a library. They did not want him to talk about the book his 9th grade daughter was reading, which was on the list of advanced reading for Common Core. The book was Jody Picoult's "Nineteen Minutes. Want to read the passage he was objecting to? It's detailed here, along with the story and video:  http://eagnews.org/new-hampshire-father-opposes-required-reading-of-pornographic-novel-in-9th-grade-english/

If you watch, you can see the policeman seemed hesitant and reluctant. He apparently told the man "He didn't want to do this".

It is INSANE a man can be ARRESTED at a meeting like this. Why does a school board need an officer there? Why are they feeling that parents will revolt against them?

If a school board in New Hampshire had a man arrested for talking too long about a book the school system decided to include in the curriculum, then obviously that must be the fault of the Common Core standards (plus also Arne Duncan and Pearson. Follow the money.)[/quote]

As long as teachers aren't arrested, right?  Arrested for speaking out about porn in books to 9th graders. Is that ok with you?  You won't answer this with anything but snark , because you know I am correct. Whenever you snark, I know you are trapped. You know the school board was wrong to do this. Ipunless you want those pesky parents out of the way because you know what is best

My wish is for your pension to be unavailable to you when you retire, because there is no money for it in the budget. What, you have a contract?  Doesn't matter. Who are you going to sue in the end?

You do sound deranged.  And did you even read the article?  The book has been part of the curriculum since 2007, way before common core. So....[/quote]

You understand the problem here is the local school board having a man arrested for voicing his opinion? This is what happens when larger government gets control of the school system - those locals that are inclined to push an agenda, use the feds to hide behind.[/quote]
