Common Core is Washington's takeover of our education system - and it must be stopped before every child in America is failed by the Obama' administration's education mandate.
Please see Penny Nance's message below on how to join with Concerned Women for America and Grassfire in a nationwide effort to end Common Core.
Do you know what your children and grandchildren are being taught in school this year?
There's a dangerous power-grab unfolding within your local school system. It's called the "Common Core State Standards Initiative." And it has the Obama Administration written all over it.
As a fellow parent — especially as a mom — I want you to know: Common Core fails you. It fails your student. It fails the fiscal test. And it fails your state's rights.
At CWA, we see red flags waving all over this "reform" — and we are leading the way, state-by-state, to see this dangerous legislation defeated.
Here are just a few important things you should know:
•Common Core was dangled as an incentive to the states by being tied to "Race to the Top" grants and "No Child Left Behind" waivers.
•Through Common Core, the government is essentially bribing states with much-needed federal money, grants, and waivers, to relinquish their rights.
•It is an assault on states' rights and hands the federal government the reins to your child's education (we know how this ends — we're still wading through the muck and mire of ObamaCare, the federal high-jacking of your health decisions and mine).
•It threatens student and family privacy through implementation of intrusive data-collection and tracking on every student.
•It has a high price tag. Costs associated with the new standards and assessments are estimated to be nearly $16 billion over the next seven years.
•Common Core was, and still is, being designed behind closed doors ... with little to no parent or state input.

+ + Grassfire is partnering with Concerned Women for America in their efforts to rally 500,000 conservatives to stop Common Core.
Help us act quickly and effectively to alert concerned citizens across the nation to Common Core — and mobilize our great army of activists like you to block this massive federal takeover of education.
We urge you to add your name to the petition in time for an upcoming delivery to Congress when they return from their August recess:
The CWA petition opposing Common Core is part of a strategic plan to stop the federal government's Draconian rule and to rid state educational systems of one of the most dangerous programs ever introduced into our schools.
•As I write you, 43 states have adopted Common Core.
•Four states have refused to adopt the standards.
•Through your great support and the efforts of CWA, three states (Indiana, Oklahoma, and South Carolina) have bravely battled and withdrawn schools from this federal assault on our schoolchildren.
•Four states have refused to adopt the standards.
•Through your great support and the efforts of CWA, three states (Indiana, Oklahoma, and South Carolina) have bravely battled and withdrawn schools from this federal assault on our schoolchildren.
Your signature will help in our battle to stop the federal government from trampling on your state's rights ... and fight to keep your child's educational future in your capable hands.
Please stand with us in this vital campaign. Help us protect your child or grandchild from Common Core. America's children deserve better.
Sincerely,
Penny Nance
Chief Executive Officer and President
P.S. It's not pretty. Common Core is doing for education what ObamaCare is doing for health care. It's an epic failure ... with epic consequences for your children and grandchildren
Please take action now with your most generous gift. With your help, we won't stop fighting until we've kicked Common Core to the curb, in every state of the nation.
