We reject the Federal Government's intrusion into our education system
and want control over what is taught in our classroom returned to the parents, as well as our local and state school boards.
• Common Core removes control of our state K-12 education
standards from Wyoming and puts it in the hands of private trade
organizations who wrote and copyrighted the standards and who are not
accountable to the public which pays for their implementation.
• It allows the federal government to dictate the terms of our teacher evaluations.
• Common Core Standards are not internationally bench marked as
marketed, nor have they been tested and found to be superior to existing
state standards. They have never been tried before. Their
implementation in 45 states amounts to a massive pilot program that uses
our children as test subjects.
• Common Core assessments ramp up the collection of personally
identifiable data on our children. Through various agreements this data
will be sent directly to the US Department of Education who has changed
the Family Education Rights Privacy Act (FERPA) to allow this data to be
shared with other government agencies and third parties without our
knowledge or consent.
• The architect of the Common Core Standards has vowed to align
the SAT tests to these standards thereby pressuring homeschoolers and
private schools to teach to these standards as well. Millions of
children will be lost inside a one size fits all system designed to
create equal mediocrity among the new “global citizens.”
