When did American's decide that the government knows best? Why have we accepted what is happening to our great country? Have we, through the generations been dumbed down and conditioned to accept that government is all powerful? That we have no voice? What will it take for us to put our foot down and remind elected officials that they work for us, not special interest?
America was founded on Judeo-Christian principals. Our Founding Fathers had amazing foresight. They knew that if a proper balance wasn't maintained, eventually "human law" would bring us to this point. We, as citizens would either demand a just and moral government or the government would become so large and corrupt, it would lead to tyranny.
Today, you cannot pray in class, most schools don't do the Pledge of Allegiance anymore (my 3rd graders class doesn't). The word God is offensive, but children are making prayer rugs and being forced to pray to Allah, in effect denying their God. Here is a link to a story of one example...

My own daughter (11th grade) has collected some disturbing examples of ELA lessons about demons, eating babies, dating the devil, the list goes on and on.
Sexual subjects that young children don't have the capacity to understand are being introduced through the schools as early as Kindergarten! Sound far fetched? Here is a link to the National Sexual Education Standards K-12...

I know I have discussed this with our school Principal and was assured that the only program they had regarding sex Ed was called FLASH and was taught in fifth grade.
The proof is in the fine print. The last paragraph on page 6 says that these standards are to be incorporated in the ELA and Math lessons. I urge you to look at your school libraries for books like "It's Perfectly Normal" aimed at ages 10 and up that graphically show sexual acts. Look for books on alternative families. Books that graphically describe incest, rape and pedophilia are available for junior high and high school students.
The school is not a place for religious indoctrination, or teaching that being gay is either "normal" or "abnormal" or other graphic sexual topics.. That is up to a parent to instill the values that they see fit, good or bad. School needs to go back to teaching legitmate subjects like traditional math, spelling and cursive. Most importantly accurate history, because slowly we are losing our grip on the very things that made this country great.
This is my attempt at journaling my experience with the fight against Common Core. I sincerely hope to bring awareness to other parents. I will detail my experiences and post accurate information that will be helpful for other parents, as some of us have no clue what common core is or means for our children and future. Our children deserve better and it is up to us as parents, to fight for them! If we don't stand up for them, who will? Who will stand up for our rights as parents?
