Common Core: Look What They’re Sneaking Into Your Child’s Curriculum Now

As our children are heading back to school, it’s important that parents understand the latest developments of Common Core standards, and how these changes will impact our children. Kyle Olson, co-author of Conform: Exposing the Truth About Common Core and Public Education, recently brought to the light the disturbing trend in the classroom: Social justice-inspired math.

Typical equations that we remember as children centered around going to the store and making fruit purchases or making change. But progressives are now pushing themes into the math curriculum such as climate change and casualties of war, which will now be worked into a math problem.
“A typical math problem would be you have 13 cents and a green pencil is 3 cents – you know, that sort of problem. They want to get rid of those sorts of problems,” Olson said. “Instead, they want to calculate war deaths, or they want to calculate the number of liquor stores within a particular radius of the school, or problems related to global warming – those sorts of things.”
Instead of being straightforward and fact-based, there is a push to insert political and ideological bias into areas of the curriculum. Because of the way in which Common Core has been implemented, college entrance exams will be reformatted so that they are Common Core aligned. This leaves children who do not receive Common Core as part of their curriculum at a great disadvantage. Olson went on to explain:
“Just because you homeschool or go to a charter school or private school or whatever the case may be, it is critical parents are engaged in that process, aligned with the teachers and school leaders to make sure their child is getting a proper education and one they expect for their kids.”
It’s amazing to me the steps that progressives will take in order to indoctrinate our children. But these liberals understand that if they can teach our children how and what to think at a young age, they will have a new generation of little zombie clones to inhabit the planet and carry out their plans.
