GUEST POST: Common Core And The Holocaust
This is a Guest Post by a concerned citizen on the way Common Core teaches subjects beyond Math and English Language Arts, specifically looking at the Holocaust.
______________
In a recent post on JNS.org, a public mandate for teaching genocide using the Holocaust as the prime example is suggested. Now, that said, teaching about this important subject (the Holocaust) is not something that should be mandated. Why? Depending on how you view it, it will be too difficult for some ages, learning abilities and flat-out inappropriate for some age/grades.
Also worth considering, what about fact based resources? What about genocide as an entirely separate subject? Frankly, neither subject will be easy nor quick. If we are to truly learn from something as heinous as the Holocaust, we should be able to do much more than recite facts, figures and data. We should be able to have a modern-day practical application students not only identify with, but find easy to carry out. As an educator, I know each subject, the Holocaust and genocide, should be taught in-depth and as an elective – not a mandate, nor to every grade level. To grasp out how Common Core Standards can make a mockery out of world history, let’s look at some of the resources mentioned in the article and see where else this winding road will lead. First up, CChange.

A Rebuttal To The Parent Who “Investigated” Common Core
Well, Nancy Stone of Holly Springs mad a splash with the Common Core opposition parents and her “investigation” of Common Core. Or rather lack of investigation. The op-ed having the word ‘investigate’ anywhere in the title is laughable; no ‘investigating’ was done. Instead, this is a not to subtle regurgitation of all the same pro-Core talking points we’ve seen for two years now. It’s about what I’d expect from NC Policy Watch. Prime example:
“..the standards are just very long lists of what students should know and be able to do from Kindergarten through High School.”
Yawn. Taking the literal road are we? Well done ma’am. Yes, standards are just a list.
A fundamentally flawed, experimental list which is age and developmentally inappropriate in the primary grades and dumbs our kids down in the secondary ones. Just a list that dictate testing, materials, curriculum etc. Just a list.
Read the parent letter…. Continue reading

Nice Waiver Ya Got There, Be A Shame If Anything Happened To It

The Gates Backed Contraception Microchip
The headline to this story is not from The Onion, but BBC news:
A contraceptive computer chip that can be controlled by remote control has been developed in Massachusetts.
The chip is implanted under a woman’s skin, releasing a small dose of levonorgestrel, a hormone.
This will happen every day for 16 years, but can be stopped at any time by using a wireless remote control.
The project has been backed by Bill Gates, and will be submitted for pre-clinical testing in the US next year – and possibly go on sale by 2018.
The device measures 20mm x 20mm x 7mm and will be “competitively priced”, its creators said.
I wonder if it will have the same guarantee Gates gave on Common Core: Continue reading
