An article from the Asheville Citizen Times was put in my inbox over the weekend titled, “Veteran engineer sees the value of Common Core field testing“.

It’s penned by a man named Ben Owens.

At the bottom of the article is this text:

“Benjamin C. Owens is a 2014 Hope Street Group National Teaching Fellow and math and physics teacher at the Tri-County Early College in Murphy.”

Hope Street Group.  AGAIN.

The article was written in 2014, prior to Superintendent Atkinson entering North Carolina into a partnership with Hope Street Group.

In 2014, this grant appears to have supported HSG’s expansion beyond Tennessee into states like North Carolina:

Owens is also involved with the Center for Teaching Quality, which has received large sums from Bill Gates, much of which for the purpose of driving Common Core, to the tune of over $6.3 million.
