That's just the first 24 names from a cast of hundreds. Missing from that discussion are all of the members of the Math and English Feedback Groups, the Validation Committee, the National Policy Forum members, and then all of the external stakeholder groups like NEA, AFT and yet another cast of hundreds of professional educators and experts who reviewed the standard, modified the standard, and provided input and vetting. Again, for the 98th time, Common [b]Core was *not* "developed behind closed doors by a secretive handful of people from the testing industry who have no teaching experience" and it is disingenuous and dishonest to keep repeating that myth.

Please post the results and the comments from the "cast of hundreds".  And, remember, NEA and AFT received grants from Gates very close to the time that they came out in favor.

You've already been provided the contact info for CSSO and NGA.  Why don't you contact them already rather than being obtuse and playing these games?

And you also failed to demonstrate any direct connection with the Gates grants to NEA and AFT foundations with their acceptance of Common Core.  The Gates Foundation has been giving out millions in education grants each year since at least 1999.  And, they continue giving out grants despite what you claim is waning support.  If NEA and AFT had truly turned their backs on CC in betrayal of the Gates Foundation as you claim, then why would the Gates Foundation continue to support NEA and AFT?  Your claim just doesn't make sense.[/quote]
