Education Secretary Arnie Duncan is reminding parents in America “that all your children belong to them”. In a not-so-very veiled threat Secretary Duncan states the Federal Government will step in if parents continue to opt their children out of Common Core testing.
Secretary of Education Arne Duncan issued a veiled threat to the parents and students who choose to opt out of Common Core testing – The Feds “have an obligation to step in.”
Federal law, under No Child Left Behind, requires 95 percent of students in a state to take the annual standardized tests in reading and math from grades 3- 8. It is a requirement which until now has never needed enforcement or consideration.
With as many as 184,000 students in New York choosing to opt out, the 95 percent threshold will not only be in jeopardy, it will be an easily missed mark.
When asked what would happen in states with such a high opt out rate, whether they would have to force consequences upon schools, parents, and students, Duncan responded “We think most states will do that.”
He added, “If states don’t do that, then we have an obligation to step in.”
Via the Daily Caller:
Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said at a Q&A in Chicago Tuesday that widespread student boycotts of standardized tests are not acceptable, and if state governments don’t stop them, the federal government will.
[…] Duncan didn’t elaborate on what the federal intervention might look like. It could, however, involve labeling districts with too many opt-outs as “failing,” a status that places restrictions on how schools use federal money. This would in turn pressure state government and school districts to roll back parental opt-out rights.
Duncan maintained the Obama Administration’s position that standardized tests are crucial for both tracking students’ progress and keeping tabs on the achievement gaps between certain groups.
Worse, Duncan wasn’t simply threatening parents who choose to opt out their children in general, but rather, a specific group of parents. A group he has maligned before. White parents.
This might not end well for the administration if they choose to continue along this path. Nothing is a more powerful force, or more dangerous to a controlling regime, than a motivated group of parents who act to protect their children.

Fascism out of control in our nation. Parent Arrested from Common Core Meeting in Baltimore County MD
A video about education in Nazi Germany. Education played a very important part in trying to indoctrinated children to become loyal Nazis. The video using some footage from the cartoon - Education for Death produced by Walt Disney.
You are getting nuttier by the day. Whenever a law is created for regulation of the nation, it is fascism pure & simple. You simply chit-chat about the enforcement aspect. Poor you.
He added, “If states don’t do that, then we have an obligation to step in.”
For your own good,of course.

Education Secretary: Parents Who Opt Out Of Common Core are Racist – “Feds Will Step In” If Opt Out Continues…
Commom core is the para-Marxist vision for creating economic equality by insuring all students will graduate at an equal level of incompetence, stupidity, and mindlessness. It is the modern prescription for obtaining a dictatorship not of the proletariat, but a dictatorship of compliant helpless dumbkophs.
Hooray for the dictatorship of dumbkophs! All children left behind in absolute equality!
When the new system of enslavement occurs it will be in the form of inculcated mass stupidity administered by parasites enabling availability of marijuanna and other drugs, free sex, free inculcated stupidity beyound the influence of conscience, and easy dependence on goverment hand-outs to relieve the consequences. People will think they are happy and will go to the polls voting to perpetuate and expand it.
