***3 DIFFERENT COMMON CORE MEETING SCHEDULED*** What can we do to stop Common Core and take back local control of education? Find out! (flyer attached) When: Wednesday, Nov. 19th – 6:30pm Where: Hampton Inn – Effingham, IL My father, Charles Stodden, recommended I contact you to let you know about an upcoming meeting we are hosting in Effingham, IL on November 19th at 6:30pm. Dr. Mary Byrne of Columbia University will be giving one of the most insightful presentations I have ever seen regarding the humanistic origins of our current education system, and the original intent of the Founding Fathers for American education. She explains how the Common Core has come about and what the agenda is for this new system, including a usurpation of parental and local control, as well as the creation of a national data base of our children which includes even information about their religion and health! My father said that you an activist are working to root out corruption in Illinois. I believe, if you are able to attend this meeting, you will find it helpful to those ends. Please check out the attached flier and please feel free to share it with others. Thanks for your time.

An engineer, a social worker, a local school board member, an education blogger, moms, lawyers, and academic researchers — each of the contributors to this book’s 18 essays sheds light on a different aspect of Common Core. Together the essays offer a highly informed and troubling picture of the dangers this controversial reform package poses to students, families, education, and society. . They also demonstrate that real dialogue and cooperation across political lines are not only possible but, in fact, crucial, both in defeating false reforms and establishing true education pathways that honor students, parents, and teachers alike.
