Northeast Florida Parents Against Common Core

ACTION ITEM #1
If you want Common Core Paused in Florida PLEASE CALL every legislator on the list at the link below. If you called, CALL AGAIN, get you friends to call. If we do not pause CCS during the session that begins in March, I doubt we will ever be able to undo it.

Not 100% sure you are against CCS? Still PAUSE it to find out how bad it is don't let it become another Obamacare!!!!! Several states have paused it already including Massachusetts and Indiana has thrown it out altogether.

Here is the link:

If you don't know what to say, email at drufaulk@att.net and SHE will give you a script or help you, we know that this is out of some peoples comfort zone but it is our CHILDRENS FUTURE!!!

ACTION ITEM #2
SIGN THE FREEDOMWORKS PETITION:

Make sure your legislators know where you stand – sign the petition and tell them to Stop Common Core in 2014.

FL Governor Rick Scott pressures Republican Club to not oppose Common Core -- WHY?

The following letter was sent to the Gov. Scott from a fellow patriot.

Dear Governor,

It seems to me that all, and I mean all of the current crop of so-called legislators (people who act upon but never read their bills they vote on) , don’t have the least bit of idea what the end result of the common core standards are about or what they will do to the school children of this state. Why not call a SPADE, a SPADE. All you guys care about is getting money to be reelected and don’t give one iota about the children being affected by your actions. Implementation of the CCSS amounts to Felony Assault of child abuse on the Charges to be brought upon you as individuals and as legislators. When the kids start graduating (merely being passed thru) from high school to college, I guarantee you they will come back and sue all of you for the lack of an adequate education to live a life of freedom, liberty and a pursuit to happiness that will never be enjoyed due to their inherently taught ignorance of history and COMMON SENSE LIVING. You all should be ashamed of yourselves for implementing a program that you know absolutely nothing about. You have been sold a bill of goods from that socialist Jeb Bush who is making a ton of money and soliciting prestige for his connections while forcing the issue on implementing the CCSS. To me, this is treasonous extortion and blackmail. Goes along with his other crimes of fraud, deceit and theft of the public trust.

I defy any of you to give a brief explanation of the CCSS and what it is teaching our kids in the critical thought process without notes and in person. It has been proven that they are being taught to come up with answers that have no correct answers to them. There are seniors coming out and openly decrying the damage this system is doing to their educational psyche. They are begging you to stop it now. The sad part about this is your legislators are not listening. The kids are starting to cry to their parents about the problems with trying to learn something that has no answers. You have a bunch of egocentric state and federal government legislators forcing their will for the sake of the almighty dollar in their pockets. Over the past 100 years, we have taught a classical education strong enough to enable 4 generations of individuals to accomplish the impossible, make great advances in science, industry, medical and strides in the health and welfare of the American people and created the greatest nation ever to live in the history of mankind. It was not until the Federal government put their fingers on the education of our children that the system began to fail. Add in the legislation of non-educators and we were on a road to ruination.

We put people on the moon for God’s sake and sent them countless times into space and back. This was not due to some Marxist/socialistic or fascist ideology that is hell bent on destroying that which has made us great. This was done on the back of a hardworking, capitalistic, free society that had hope, love and compassion for their fellow man and a strong will to do the right thing. Now you want to openly coerce your local political organizations not to oppose a system that is proven to be destroying your kid’s education. WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN, WHERE IS THEIR VOICE? WHO WILL LOOK OUT FOR THEM!!! I can tell you that many parents are waking up and you will eventually be sued for your gross negligence and malfeasance of office. We can prove that the CCSS is not state led, but extorted into place by a federal government that is openly extorting your permission to implement the program by dangling a few dollars in front of your noses. Tell them to keep it and change how you measure the amount that the State of Florida should be paying to the Federal overreach. Do not pay them for overstepping their bounds. The Federal DOJ is now going to tell you how to discipline our school children? What’s next? Telling the parents how to raise the children! Taking the kids and sending them off to factories and fields to do the work of slaves!! To what end? All for the rich corporate snobs that contribute illegal contributions is outrageous quantities to your so-called Super PACS. This will stop soon in the future as well. We are being made aware of the fraud and deceit in this program as well and will be fighting to change it. It is time as one potential Republican, Joshua Black said, “It is time to call out the government regulators and president for their treasonous actions, convict their guilt and have them openly hanged.” After we clean out Washington, we should also clean out the state and local frauds and liars as well. Florida is a political disgrace. I also think we need to clean out the Curry’s and Scotts (removal of Finch without proper cause and investigation) out of office as well. They don’t have the right to silence and remove someone from the party, but have a right not to listen to them is they choose. Their latest actions are far worse than Mr. Black’s open truthful comments.

I urge you to pass Debbie Mayfield’s HB 25 and later get on the bandwagon to stop the Federal governments projected attempts to take away our 2nd Amendment rights and not allow them to go to the U.N. We will not register our arms nor will we give them up to lawless regulations and legislators. REMEMBER IT IS THE CHILDREN WHOM WE ARE LEGISLATING FOR, NOT JEB BUSH, NOT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, AND CERTAINLY NOT THE CORPORATE WORLD. It boils down to who is more important, Common Core or The Children????

The following letter was sent to the Gov. from an educator with Hillsdale College.

Governor Scott:
Since you claim to be a Republican I thought you might want to educate yourself further on the Common Core issue. Here is Dr. Moore, an educator with Hillsdale College really breaking it down for you. There are TWO video’s I suggest you watch…but if nothing else… take a look at this…
To give more clarity to the public, I created the following graphic back in 2009 right after Obama was elected and the Common Core Standards Initiative started its stealthy takeover of our nation’s schools. In Dr. Moore’s interview, he confirms the same thing as found in this graphic:

 [The following arrows mean “lead to.”]

 National standards  →  national assessments  →  national curriculum → national teacher evaluations with teachers’ salaries tied to students’ test scores  →  teachers teaching to the test each and every day  →  national indoctrination of our public school children  →  national database of students and teachers containing personally intrusive information

1.20.14 -- TWO VIDEOS BY DR. TERRENCE MOORE – A CLASSICAL EDUCATOR EXPLAINS HOW THE COMMON CORE STANDARDS ARE STEALING THE SOULS OF OUR CHILDREN
Comments from Donna Garner: Dr. Terrence Moore of Hillsdale College has given two tremendously helpful interviews in which he explains step-by-step what is wrong with Common Core and its Type #2 philosophy of education as compared to the Type #1 traditional, classical philosophy of education.
By defining for the public what these two different philosophies of education look like, Dr. Moore will help the public to be further equipped to locate the Type #2 philosophy in their children’s curriculum:
(Here is a helpful chart that can be shared widely -- Type #1 and Type #2 -- http://www.educationviews.org/comparison-types-education-type-1-tra... )

PART 1 VIDEO – 1.18.14 -- “Teachers ‘instructed’ to teach ‘all right wing extremist groups’ are fascist” – The Daily Caller -- http://dailycaller.com/2014/01/18/teachers-instructed-to-teach-all-...
In Part 2 of his videos, Dr. Moore explains that he is hearing broad-based rumors about the SAT vs. Common Core Standards. It is no secret that David Coleman, the lead writer for the Common Core English Standards and now the president of the College Board, plans to align the SAT with the Common Core. However, Dr. Moore has heard that elite, private schools such as Sidwell Friends School where Obama’s own children attend school (and also Chelsea Clinton and Al Gore III) have no intentions of dumbing down their curriculum to meet the Common Core Standards. A second SAT test will be produced just for the “elite” students who want to go to “elite” colleges/universities.
If such a system is allowed to go forward in our country, a two-tier class system would be established in America just like Hillary Clinton, Marc Tucker, and the National Center on Education and the Economy (NCEE) tried to put into place in the 1980’s. The top 10% would be well educated and would control the politicians and the major systems/institutions in this country while the other 90% would be the “worker bees” who would have such an inferior education that they could be easily controlled and manipulated. It is easy to see that the Common Core Standards are well on their way to putting this model in place right now.
In Dr. Moore’s videos, he defines what a classical education is and gives practical suggestions that parents can follow to help them guide their own children to attain a classical education no matter where they go to school.
PART 2 VIDEO – 1.19.14 -- “Common Core Is Taking Aim at the Souls of Our Children Says Classical Educator” -- The Daily Caller -- http://dailycaller.com/2014/01/19/common-core-is-taking-aim-at-the-...
Dr. Moore also urges the public to increase their efforts to battle the Common Core Standards because of the seriousness of the moment. Here is a link that contains valuable resources:

FREEDOMWORKS provides the following information related to Common Core.

President Obama and his federal bureaucrats want to brainwash America’s children.
That’s why they’re pushing Common Core education standards. These standards eliminate parental rights and local control of schools. They force Progressive propaganda on America’s kids. And they need to be defeated.
Sign the petition to Stop Common Core in 2014.
Washington bureaucrats don’t know what’s best for America’s kids. Since DC decided to run America's schools, national test scores have actually gotten WORSE.
You and I need to stand up for parents across our country and make sure Common Core is stopped in 2014.
Make sure your legislators know where you stand – sign the petition and tell them to Stop Common Core in 2014.

The following two videos are provided for those who wish to learn more about Common Core

The speaker is obviously a conservative but I beg you to listen regardless of your political beliefs. This issue will impact ALL of our children and Grandchildren.

He starts around minute 5.I know it is lengthy....maybe you can listen in the car.

http://drrichswier.com/2014/01/25/story-killers-how-the-common-core...

Let me leave you with one thought for you to use “critical thinking” discerning.
If you had an elementary school that some firefighters said was safe for your child to go into but they had no evidence….just their word and you had several firefighters tell you that the building was extremely unsafe. Would you send your child into that building? Why are you taking a chance with your child’s education and mental and emotional health by allowing Common Core to proceed?

Also for those who have not heard the mental health dangers for our children with the Common Core --please listen 38 min--you should be livid at what they are allowing

This is about our children who are the future of our country. Let’s continue to join together and ensure that they are well educated but not indoctrinated.

God Bless YOU and MAY GOD BLESS OUR AMERICA
