[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]LOL! Sorry, no equivalency there - I have yet to see any Common Core supporters running around saying kids will become gay muslims if Common Core goes away.[/quote]

But why do you keep getting down in the gutter with this stuff.  Why do you keep mentioning it instead of taking the high road and telling the positives about Common Core.  Just because there are a few nuts out there doesn't mean that there aren't valid reasons to question Common Core.  The arguments need to be kept above this level, but you keep returning to the gutter even when the people on here have not been in the gutter.  Why do you like to go there?  Why can't you stay above the Jerry Springer show?  Do you like that stuff?[/quote]

It's the difference between

[i]Opponent: The Common Core standards are bad because [x,y,z]
Supporter: The Common Core standards are good because [x,y,z][/I]

(which is basically talking past each other)

and

[i]Opponent: The Common Core standards are bad because [x,y,z]
Non-Opponent: [x,y,z] is invalid/factually incorrect/illogical/contradictory/whatever[/I]

(which is actually engaging in discussion and argument)

If you want to have a thread that goes like this:

[i]Supporter: The Common Core standards are good because [x,y,z]
Non-Supporter: [x,y,z] is invalid/factually incorrect/illogical/contradictory/whatever[/i]

then you are free to start one.
