You say you don't want the federal government involved, but it was my understanding that each state had a choice of whether to implement or not. Is that not the case?
Not only that, each State/District chooses their own curriculum!!

How do you feel about Common Core education?
by nonjwspouse inespecially if you are a teacher, how did you learn about it to begin with?
was there a common core rep doing a slick presentation?.
how do those of you with kids on school feel about, among others, things such as the deemphasis on the great works of literature ?.

nonjwspouse is approaching the entire subject from a sky is falling, conspiracy theory, misinformation angle. How can one even atempt to look at a subject, if they have already made up their mind that it is "Satan"?
As for not being able to "teach" thinking skills. Hogwash. It's just developing a talent. Like being spoon fed an interpretation of such and such a scripture a la the Truth Book, or probing for the possible meaning with an open mind.

This is not a tin foil hat subject as some here suggest.
Oh yes but I'm afraid it is.

Hello, its good to be back, seriously!
by AllTimeJeff infor the last year or so, the opening lyrics to gloria estefan's "always tomorrow" have been howling at me.. i've been alone inside myself, far too long.
never really wanted it that way, but i let it happen..... .
(btw, the message in that song is great for former jw's, if you want to think about the lyrics that way....).

I don't want your religious zealotry to interfere with my secular government.
You are one who believes the opposite. I'm curious how you justify your politics with your professed religious beliefs.

I have to agree with BOTR here. What the hell is the point of this thread?? Some theists believe some atheists think some theists think thus and such about some atheists.
Foolishness.
Theists go worship your god/gods and leave the rest of us alone.
