Common Core

American Heritage keeps Common Core at a distance:
Why Common Core will not be adopted at AHSJ

• Common Core standards were developed outside state control by the National Governor’s Association and the CCSSO.
• Common Core is promoted by the Gates Foundation, the Pearson textbook company, the NEA, the UEA, UNESCO, and other large corporations and entities.
• Federal dollars have purchased control over the implementation and regulations of Common Core now, and in the future.
• “Common” curricula cannot prepare students for career tracks and university with the individuality they need. One size does not fit all.
• Common Core wants to create capable workers, not great thinkers.
• Classical literature has been reduced in favor of informational pieces, which may be used to promote advocacy causes.
• States receive more money if the curriculum promotes the causes of “under-represented groups.”
• States receiving federal money must create databases which data-mine personal and private information, which is collected nationally and could be shared with unknown entities.
