NC State Senator Questions #APUSH

Posted on September 12, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

North Carolina State Senator Jerry Tillman is questioning the new AP U.S. History (APUSH) framework. (See Tillman’s Newsletter snippet below the fold.)

scG-coleman-unqualifiedHe is wise to do so. APUSH went from a 5 page framework to a 95 page one, which largely marginalizes early U.S. History in favor of a Leftist Global view and includes the theme that America is not exceptional. This new framework totally undermines the teaching of U.S. History both nationwide and in North Carolina. This new framework is led by Common Core architect, David Coleman.

About That NC Textbook Commission… (PT 2)

Posted on September 11, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

The North Carolina Textbook Commission was announced back in July. Catch up on who was appointed here. The commission is supposed to meet 4 times by law, however since the announcement, not much has been heard about this commission that was appointed by Governor McCrory. We have heard nothing about who has been made chair of this commission, when it will meet for the first time or really, anything else.

Well, we do know a chair has been selected via Twitter, but who is it?

Corbett cited the loss of control and overreach by the federal government. Good for him. Common Core represents the loss of state sovereignty over education.

Gov. Walker: ‘If Reelected, I’ll Replace Common Core’

Posted on September 8, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

This weekend, Scott Walker announced that if reelected he will replace Common Core. I’m sure the Common Core peddling Michael Brickman of the Fordham Institute is unhappy to hear that. Brickman was education adviser to Walker when Common Core was adopted. Brickman also did a song and dance at the NC legislature during the Common Core committee hearings. I also had a chat with him on Pete Kaliner’s show on WWNC.

#DM7 Article: NC’s Common Core Commission

Posted on September 7, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

This is a repost of my weekly article at DaTechGuy: The NC Common Core Commission

By A.P. Dillon

Last week, I have an update on the status of replacing Common Core in North Carolina.

I’d like to hope I’m wrong in that assessment, but that seems to be what they’re saying.
