Samuel Adams said, "If Virtue & Knowledge are diffused
among the People, they will never be enslav'd. This will be their great
Security." Since education is the means by which citizens of our country
can protect themselves and others from tyranny, we must protect it at all
costs.
The
Common Core standards for schools across the country threaten our basic
freedoms. They say that the new standards just make it easy for students to
excel all around the world and all around the country because the standards are
the same everywhere. But Common Core has its roots in the former Soviet Union
which influenced UN proposed standards and inspired American Progressivism and
President Woodrow Wilson. On education, Wilson said, “We
want one class of persons to have a liberal education and another, very much
larger class of persons of necessity in every society, to forgo the privilege
of a general education and fit themselves to perform specific difficult manual
tasks.” Common Core’s stated intent,
which you can see here, is unrealistic enough
as listed, but it hides an even darker motive.
Common
Core is the worker-level education that Wilson was talking about. It lowers our
standards of education so far that those educated with it will not be able to
rise any higher. To see a great example of a teacher using common core to teach
math, see here. This directly contradicts
the founding fathers who saw the necessity for all citizens to be well educated
to avoid easily falling under an oppressive elite class of rulers.
Even
more than just being meant to subjugate the people, Common Core’s most ardent
supporters have an eye for the monetary profit. Glenn Beck talks about how Bill
Gates is so strongly in support of Common Core because he owns the exclusive
contract with the Government to provide the software (and probably hardware)
that Common Core requires.[1]
Without
the education we need to uphold it, our freedom will be replaced with a dictatorship
controlled by the elite few who the government deems worthy of education. We
must get rid of Common Core to save our freedom. Don’t take my word for it,
though. Educate yourself on it, and then let’s band together and expel it for
good.
