Common Core effectively destroys local
control of our schools, transferring community educational initiatives to the vast and faceless
federal bureaucracy, shifting yet
more power from the local community to Washington so that it can impose continental
control over the
education of our nation's children.
Last week's annual Gallup poll on
education repeated a frequent finding: Comfortable majorities of Americans agree local school boards should have far
more control over what schools teach than state or
federal governments.
