Sure, but that's why you link to the correct, authoritative source when you are having an argument with someone who says "Common Core is making my kids have to study Mesopotamia in 1st grade".   You don't link to a Glenn Beck blog saying "Common Core is evil and the downfall of society" because he isn't an authoritative source.   You link to the Common Core State Standards for Mesopotamia knowledge in 1st grade (there aren't any) and you link to the New York State website source of the Mesopotamia objectives (and that shows they come from Core Knowledge and are additional, not part of Common Core, and thus are things New York State itself added.

The problem is, a lot of people just believe whatever the see on Facebook or read on Twitter and don't go back to original sources.[/quote]

But people who link to Glenn Beck believe that he is the authoritative source, and all of the stuff you link to is misinformation, because "follow the money".[/quote]
