[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In fact this is about destroying private schools, religiously-based schools, etc.

This President is indeed a socialist - and don't tell me this isn't coming from a federal level when the Dept of Education is overseeing the damn testing:

[i]Two weeks ago, Education Week reported that the Department of Education will oversee the design of assessment tests for the Common Core State Standards, confirming suspicions that initiative is nothing less than a federal curriculum for America’s schools. While I’ve already commented on the implications this announcement will have on public schools, Common Core’s federal control does not stop there. Students in charter and private schools, as well as homeschoolers, will also have no choice but to learn what Uncle Sam wants to teach them. In essence, there’s no opting out of Common Core.[/i]

So I clicked through the links to see what this is about, and it is not anything like what you or your source described.  The Federal Government gave grant money and, like all grantors, it does a review of the performance of the groups it grants money to.  This does not allow the government to "oversee" the development of tests.[/quote]
