Leading the Charge Against Common Core

Since the inception of common core we have seen many states, representative, and senators begin to take a stand against the common core teaching methods that are being pushed on our children throughout the country.  Now that we are truly seeing what these methods consist of, it is becoming quite clear that these standards are driven by the thirst for money from a variety of companies who have a large stake in the testing and programs implemented by common core.

Among the numerous Senators and Representatives that are beginning to take a stand against common core, there is one that I feel is leading the charge and really helping people to understand why this government initiative is such a threat to our children’s future.

Senator Grassley of Iowa is laying the groundwork for us to follow as he is spearheading an effort to take the educational decision making out of the hands of the federal government and place it back with the states and local municipalities where it belongs. He puts to rest the myth that common core was initially developed as a “state led” initiative and explains how it was really developed by the “National Governors Association” which is a private organization funded by Bill and Melinda Gates.

Senator Grassley isn't leading the charge against common core alone. He has a number of other prominent Senators including Tom Coburn, Ted Cruz, Deb Fischer, James Inhofe, Mike Lee, Rand Paul, Pat Roberts, and Jeff Sessions who have all signed onto Senator Grassley’s letter asking the chair and ranking member of the subcommittee overseeing the U.S. Department of Education’s funding of Common Core to require that any funds appropriated to the Department of Education not be used to develop, implement, or evaluate state-level education standards, or to award grants or contracts for development, implementation, or evaluation of state level education standards.

Teaching American History Is Racist

Have we really come to the point in this country where it is now being considered racist to teach American history as it actually happened. Apparently in a town in Michigan this is the case, as a teacher has recently been suspended for showing a video in which white people depicted a black person using black face.  The objective of this lesson was to provide oversight into how far we have come in this country with regards to racism and the persecution of the African American.

If we begin to put restrictions on how history is taught, we are do our students and subsequent generations of young people a great disservice. It is essential we ensure the children of tomorrow understand the mistakes of yesteryear or they are bound to repeat them.








Following the history teacher, Alan Barron's, suspension there has been a massive amount of public outcry as parents are extremely upset at how the situation has been handled.  Alan has been teaching history in this district for 36 years and was one month from his retirements before being suspended.

The hashtag "FreeMrBarron" has since been created in an effort to affect the situation and make people aware of the importance of teaching our children history as it is meant to be taught, how Mr. Barron taught it.  We must get make people aware of the distortion of history in schools throughout the United States, our children's livelihood depends on it!

The Low Income Housing Problem

The federal government wants to move the poor out if cities into low income housing in the suburbs which in turn causes taxes to go up.

The low income individuals don't pay these taxes as they don't fall into the particular tax bracket while at the same time they have children they cannot afford thanks to an unlimited supply of government aide.

This phenomenon also increases the taxes of those who work as the children attend the publicly funded school system while the parents of those children don't contribute a damn thing!!
