Parents and Teachers Across America Unite

Parents and teachers across America are uniting against Common Core.  Common core is partly education without representation, but it is also social engineering.   If you care about your child/children, and what goes into your child's/children's mind take a half hour to view the movie.     Here is a movie called Building the Machine at http://commoncoremovie.com/.

This we call a property right. The absolute right to property follows from the original right to life because one without the other is meaningless; the means to life must be identified with life itself.  If the State has a prior right to the products of one's labor, his right to existence is qualified" To read more go to https://mises.org/etexts/taxrob.asp you will have to cut and paste the link.
