The federal government is already using CC as a means to control education in the states. It is called "Race to the Top".

How is the federal government controlling education in the states through "Race to the Top"? How much of "Race to the Top" are the Common Core standards?

I suggest you go to the DofED website and read Race to the Top.  Getting federal money is totally tied to common core.  It will only get worse.[/quote]

Could you please tell me exactly where to look on the Department of Education website for the requirements for Race to the Top grant funding?

Actually, ideally, you would tell me exactly where to look, and you would summarize the requirements. "Totally tied to" is not really very informative.[/quote]

So out of curiosity I opened a grant application form the race to the top website.  It's 100 pages so I did a document word search for Common Core and it found no results. Funny how it's "totally tied" to Common Core without mentioning it once!

Thanks for wasting our time, PP. :P [/quote]
