McCrory’s Democrat Common Core Advisors

Posted on May 22, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

In the last half-year or more, Governor McCrory has dodged giving a definitive statement in public on whether or not he supports Common Core. He doesn’t really need to, his staff is speaking for him and it’s clear the Governor backs Common Core. Clearly, our Governor hasn’t been paying attention to the siege being made on Governors in other states like Indiana, South Carolina and Wisconsin who are choosing to side with the fundamentally flawed and experimental standards.

The Governor probably hasn’t paid attention to the all out assault by moms in NY on Cuomo either or the campaign to get Oklahoma’s Mary Fallin to drop the Core. Either he’s ignoring all of that or he recklessly thinks he is somehow immune. If it’s the latter, the NC mom brigade will gladly visit the mansion with bullhorns.

Back to McCrory’s Common Core pushing staffers. This is an excerpt of the interview McCrory’s Education Advisor, Eric Guckian, gave to the News and Record: Continue reading →

The Real Deal On The NC Common Core Bill

Posted on May 21, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

First Things First – Clearing the air
Those who follow this blog know I have been on the front lines of this fight for coming up on two years. Speaking for myself, I’ve given more time to this issue than I care to think about. It’s cost me friendships, time with my family and has been a big source of stress overall. Having said that, I wouldn’t change any of it since I’m fighting for my children and the children of NC.

Myself and others have done the presentation circuit and the radio shows. We’ve been testifying at various forums and in front of the Common Core Study committee. We’ve been writing, researching and meeting with legislators. All of this has culminated in a HB1061/SB812 – Replace Common Core To Fit NC’s Needs. This bill now has a companion in the Senate. Here are the bills that are relevant to the fight against Common Core:

SB815 – Ensuring Privacy of Student Records
SB812 – Replace Common Core To Meet NC’s Needs

Getting HB1061/SB812 passed is critical to being able to move forward with getting rid of the rest of it. It is critical we get the commission to replace up and running. Common Core is like a hydra, you can’t cut off all the heads at one time. Continue reading →

Rev. Barber Afraid To Lunch Alone… Wah.

Posted on May 17, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

In the continued effort to ‘cripple and eviscerate’, no stone is being left unturned by the Reverend Barber and NC NAACP. Not even lunch.

The food fight is on! Reverend Barber claims he wasn’t really firmly invited. Barber insisted that if his entourage can’t come, then forget it. Apparently he’s afraid to go eat alone?

“I said it might be possible if I could bring other clergy leaders from the Forward Together Movement with me,” Barber said in a statement. Continue reading →

OH NOES! Defacto Leader of the NC Dems Missed A Meal!

Posted on May 16, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

I almost hurt my eyes due to rolling them so hard (email in the second half of the article). Reverend Barber missed a meal apparently and it’s all McCrory’s fault.. or something. Barber claims he wants to engage in discussion? Let’s look at what that really means.
