Dr. Sandra Stotsky, Professor Emerita at the Unversity of Arkansas, served on the Common Core Validation Committee, as THE ONLY content expert in English Language Arts.  Dr. Stotsky refused to sign off on the standards, for lack of quality, and has been traveling across the Nation since, denouncing Common Core State Standards--exposing them for what they are.

Whistle blower, Charlotte Iserbyt--formally with the U.S. Department of Education and author of The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America--reveals the big picture of public education in the United States; of which Common Core is only the latest development.

Dr. Peg Luksik--elementary school teacher of 35 years and  former advisor to the U.S. Department of Education--gives an insightful presentation on the hidden intent and dynamics of Common Core.
She notes:
"The Standards are not for the Schools. The Standards are for Your Child."--Dr. Peg Luksik
"Common Core is not something the government is doing FOR the child but something the Government is doing TO the child."

"The child is not the client, it is The Product"--Dr. Peg Luksik

Here Dr. Luksik puts Common Core in a nutshell.
