Parents Threatened for Opting Out of Common Core

Parents hate to see their kids treated like robots while forced to fit into the government’s definition of equal and successful. Surprise! Surprise! Parents want their kids to develop as individuals each prepared to follow his own dreams. 

In a video (seen below) on Common Core, New York State PTA Education Coordinator Bob Aloise  supported calling Child Protective Services and charging parents with “educational neglect” for opting-out their kids from the curricula or testing.  

Despite outrageous threats and insults, parents across the U.S. are expressing disgust with the one-size-fits all, turn-my-child-into-a-robot form of standards imposed by Common Core. Courageous parents must reject the threats spewed as their kids opt-out of curricula shaped by Common Core Standards and skip high-stakes testing.  Since a grassroots effort seems to be the only way to stop this insane governmental overreach, parents across the U.S. are creating support groups to fight the intrusion by a dictatorial federal government. Citizens are angry that state legislators, superintendents, state and local school boards have no voice in a national educational system.  These state levels of government will become irrelevant rubber stamps for future federal policies. Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin and school Superintendent Janet Barresi are not the only leaders who believe that Common Core will radically transform education into a nationally-controlled system.
