Who Is Winning the Common Core War? Citizens Are.

February 3, 2014 By Gretchen Logue

Anne Gassel and I presented at the Constitutional Coalition Common Core conference this weekend and my speech was about the importance of social media to present the facts (not paid propaganda) about Common Core.  I encouraged attendees to utilize social media to share messages of how CCSS was adopted/implemented while circumventing legislatures and voters, reveal […]

Wait! Weren’t We Told the Common Core Was Initiated By “The States”?

January 13, 2014 By Shane Vander Hart

We’ve been told by Common Core advocates that they were developed by “the states.”  The Huffington Post on Friday published a defense of the Common Core, and they have a historical overview of the Common Core’s development.  We learned fascinating things about how Kentucky Education Commissioner Terry Holliday agonized over how to accomplish his state […]

Governors and State Education Leaders Did Not Write the Common Core

December 20, 2013 By Shane Vander Hart

I had to shake my head reading an article in The Washington Post.  It highlights Randi Weingarten’s schizophrenic approach to the Common Core State Standards – on one hand she says the implementation of the Common Core is more disastrous than Obamacare’s implementation, but she wants Governors to stand by it. It’s amazing what a […]

David Coleman 2 Years Ago: We Were a Collection of Unqualified People

December 13, 2013 By Shane Vander Hart

There is video of a speech that David Coleman gave at 2011 Institute for Learning Senior Leadership Meeting that is now making the rounds on Facebook.  First we see a *ringing* endorsement of Coleman given by Lauren Resnick (who is the co-director of the Institute of Learning at the University of Pittsburgh) as she introduced […]

SAT Delaying Redesign

December 5, 2013 By Shane Vander Hart

Just an FYI, the College Board is delaying the redesign of the SAT exam that would further align it to the Common Core, from Inside Higher Ed: A brief statement released by the College Board’s press office said that "this change in the timing of the redesign will serve our members in higher education by […]

David Coleman Again Demonstrates He Doesn’t Get Education

November 13, 2013 By Joy Pullmann

Common Core architect and College Board President David Coleman recently joined a public forum to discuss “the next America.” His eight-minute speech gives a window into the ideas of those driving education in this country, which many Common Core critics have disagreed with all along. First is the central idea of college as a pathway […]

David Coleman’s Politeness Doesn’t Equal Honesty

August 2, 2013 By Shane Vander Hart

Following-up on the post I wrote a couple of days ago about Michael Farris of the Home School Legal Defense Association sharing recap of a conversation he had with David Coleman about the Common Core. Missouri Education Watchdog makes a great point – we really can’t trust what David Coleman has to say because he’ll […]

HSLDA’s Michael Farris Has a Conversation with David Coleman

July 30, 2013 By Shane Vander Hart

David Coleman, chief architect of the Common Core ELA standards and now President of the College Board has been reaching out to conservatives and Christians to encourage them to support the Common Core.  He recently contacted Michael Farris, the founder of the Home School Legal Defense Association.  Farris, in a email to his members (which […]

Common Core’s Negative Impact on Education and Biblical Literacy

July 22, 2013 By Jane Robbins

David Coleman, the non-English teacher who wrote the Common Core national English language arts (ELA) standards, is conducting a charm offensive to persuade Christians to embrace the new national standards. According to Mr. Coleman, students “educated” under Common Core will be better readers and better able to understand Scripture, and thus will enjoy deeper and […]

Prior Should Research the Bad News of the Common Core

July 10, 2013 By Shane Vander Hart

Before Dr. Karen Swallow Prior continues to laud the “good news of the Common Core” to Christians she should spend more time researching the bad.

Campbell’s Law

"The more any quantitative social indicator is used for social decision-making, the more subject it will be to corruption pressures and the more apt it will be to distort and corrupt the social processes it is intended to monitor."
