A local pol, who I will only identify as...uh...Moe, wrote this about common core:
"Many have simply come to view the media with distrust and for good reason. With no reliable source of news and public information, ignorance becomes the norm.
...our schools and education system have fallen victim to an ambitious reformation, doing away with proven and effective education methods and replacing them with the likes of Common Core, which will result in our children being, not educated, as we might think, but indoctrinated into the Socialist thinking that will strengthen the ambitious in our government in the advancement of their Progressive, Socialist agenda."
When you actively reject most news and information sources, ignorance follows naturally, a point Moe overlooks.
Everything this guy finds disagreeable is socialism, of course. But given our "proven an effective education methods" Oklahoma ranks both 43rd AND rates a B+ from ALEC, an organization known for conservative values and a possibly suspect education ranking system. Really? Forty third AND a B+? Other sources are all over the map as well. So if we carefully select the baseline, almost anything can be attributed to improving Oklahoma's education system.
Gotta go. The black helicopters are hovering over the house again and there's an odd buzzing noise coming from the television. And that calico cat acting so nonchalant over on the couch just could be a well-trained Federal agent.
