Stop Nationalized Education, Common Core Standards Petition

Common Core Standards (CCS) are a federal mandate by the Department of Education under Arne Duncan, to fundamentally transform public education.

Congress never voted on this and never approved monies. Legislators seem to know nothing about it because the program came through each state under the Stimulus bill in 2009. The states were offered award money under the Race to the Top education plan. Each state accepted different sums of money, thereby signing onto the Common Core Standards.

No one but the DOE and the administration are really aware of this program until now.

Now that the initial government money (taxpayer money) has been given to the 47 states involved, they are on their own to fund the implementation of programs associated with CCS. Once again, the state taxpayers will be responsible for billions of dollars to implement.

Tea Party groups have formed a national coalition to collaborate on fighting this transformation of children's futures.
