The dumbing down of the education system continues. Common Core is a joke.

Michelle Malkin writes a lot about CommonCore. 

In her daughter's math book, not only was the answer key wrong, but there were several misspelled words.

Consider for a moment how much better off our nation would be if educators hadn't spent the last few decades mucking around with education reform.  We might actually have graduating seniors who can read and perform basic arithmetic.

Reforming education was right up Bill Ayers alley......wasn't it? His aim was to dumb down kids to accept socialism.

That is why it was illegal to teach slaves to read, if they were literate they might read books and get ideas in their heads.
