RNC passes resolution to shut down Common Core curriculum, UNANIMOUSLY


LOS ANGELES - The concerns about the federal Common Core curriculum and the national standards it would impose on local schools reached the level of the Republican National Committee Friday and was passed unanimously.  Illinois RNC National Committeewoman Demetra DeMonte said she was happy to co-sponsor the resolution and encourage others to support the effort.


I had a good feeling about this when because I received such a good response when I brought up the issue and the resolution at the county Republican Executive Committee meeting yesterday. It turns out that the acting chairman had recently heard about Common core and was embarking on his own campaign against it.

RNC Draft Resolution on the Common Core


Posted on April 10, 2013 by Shane Vander Hart
The Republican National Committee Spring Meeting starts today in Los Angeles. One of the items that will be discussed and voted on is a draft resolution on the Common Core State Standards which you can see below:



RESOLUTION CONCERNING COMMON CORE EDUCATION STANDARDS



WHEREAS, the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) are a set of academic standards, promoted and supported by two private membership organizations, the National Governor's Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) as a method for conforming American students to uniform ("one size fits all") achievement goals to make them more competitive in a global marketplace, (1.) and



WHEREAS, the NGA and the CCSSO, received tens of millions of dollars from private third parties to advocate for and develop the CCSS strategy, subsequently created the CCSS through a process that was not subject to any freedom of information acts or other sunshine laws, and never piloted the CCSS, and



WHEREAS, even though Federal Law prohibits the federalizing of curriculum (2.), the Obama Administration accepted the CCSS plan and used 2009 Stimulus Bill money to reward the states that were most committed to the president's CCSS agenda; but, they failed to give states, their legislatures and their citizens time to evaluate the CCSS before having to commit to them, and



WHEREAS, the NGA and CCSSO in concert with the same corporations developing the CCSS 'assessments' have created new textbooks, digital media and other teaching materials aligned to the standards which must be purchased and adopted by local school districts in order that students may effectively compete on CCSS 'assessments', and



WHEREAS, the CCSS program includes federally funded testing and the collection and sharing of massive amounts of personal student and teacher data, and



WHEREAS, the CCSS effectively removes educational choice and competition since all schools and all districts must use Common Core 'assessments' based on the Common Core standards to allow all students to advance in the school system and to advance to higher education pursuits; therefore be it



RESOLVED, the Republican National Committee, as stated in the 2012 Republican Party Platform, "do not believe in a one size fits all approach to education and support providing broad education choices to parents and children at the State and local level," (p35)(3.), which is best based on a free market approach to education for students to achieve individual excellence; and, be it further



RESOLVED, the Republican National Committee recognizes the CCSS for what it is- an inappropriate overreach to standardize and control the education of our children so they will conform to a preconceived "normal," and, be it further



RESOLVED, That the Republican National Committee rejects the collection of personal student data for any non-educational purpose without the prior written consent of an adult student or a child student's parent and that it rejects the sharing of such personal data, without the prior written consent of an adult student or a child student's parent, with any person or entity other than schools or education agencies within the state, and be it finally



RESOLVED, the 2012 Republican Party Platform specifically states the need to repeal the numerous federal regulations which interfere with State and local control of public schools, (p36) (3.); and therefore, the Republican National Committee rejects this CCSS plan which creates and fits the country with a nationwide straitjacket on academic freedom and achievement.

CONTACT GOVENOR RICK SCOTT
With the Florida Senate being unwilling to stop the data collection bill we need to call Governor Scott ASAP.I believe if we can make him understand the true nature of Common Core, and how it will harm our children and educational system. I also he will veto the data collection bill and call for common core to be removed from Florida. I also suggested to his aide that he converse with Governor Rick Perry about Common core.
If Governor Scott comes out against it before he is forced to by the growing number of Floridians who are becoming outraged by what the Obama administration is trying to do to our schools then he will become a hero.
He will be liked by teachers, (who will be able to teach again), School boards, (who will be relevant again other than by finding ways to find a way to pay for unfunded mandates, parents (who will be know that their own children will not be brain washed to hate them), and to students (who won't start to hate school because confusing and ambiguous questions on the high stakes, high stress assessments)
