Common Core Panelist Says The Children Belong to All of UsLily Dane The children belong to all of us. Unbelievable, isnt it? In case you need to hear it to believe it, heres video proof: Fringe voices about states rights? The federal government has no authority over education in fact, as David Boaz of the Cato Institute explains, there is a reason for that: Common Core supporters claim that the curriculum is a state-led effort, but in reality, the standards were written by five people. Critics like Lindsey Burke, a Will Skillman Fellow in Education Policy at The Heritage Foundation, say the initiative is about federal funding and centralizing education rules: As Ethan Young, the Tennessee high school student who spoke out against Common Core in front of the Knox County School Board so eloquently said: Schools are now teaching your children that the government is family. Some are threatening to call child welfare on you if your kids arent getting specific healthcare. Want to send your child to school with a healthful homemade lunch? Some schools wont allow that either. And, some schools are resorting to using games to get kids to share highly personal information about them and their parents. If you decide that all of this is infringing on your parental rights and decide to homeschool, be warned, because in some states, the government wants to decide if you are fit to do so. Remember, all of these invasive measures are for the common good, because your children belong to everyone. Lily Dane is a staff writer for The Daily Sheeple, where this first appeared.
