• Getting the wrong answers shows they aren't brilliant.
  Getting the wrong answers under common core, and getting credit for the right answers, is just another step in the dumbing-down process, that will make our next generations compliant to Big Brother.
  If they don't know they are wrong, then 1+1=5 will sound right to them.

• Is he really stupid enough to believe what he's saying?

  • Why yes, yes he is...

• What did YOUR mother use as an excuse?

• Some self-righteous, arrogant politicians make thinly veiled accusations questioning critics' motives as a way of deflecting attention from the fact the policies they implemented are destructive and plainly nonsensical. If the shoe fits, stick it in your mouth, "Arne".

• k, so let me get this right....so "White Suburban Moms" don't like common core because it lowers standards where student don't have to get math problems correct and still get an "A" as long as they can explain how they got that wrong answer; and this is proof that the only reason they are upset is because their kid's aren't "brilliant" enough to fail? Yeah that makes total sense...

  • Don't you get it? Everything is about race when the president is black. QED. Even black men who don't like Common Core are "white suburban moms" if the masterminds in Washington say so.

    • Just call them white faced straw-Barrys.

• Urkel just employs a bunch of tactless, arrogant ignoramouses. Where the F does he find these douchebags???

  • The University?

• And here I was thinking that the 'White Suburban Moms" were opposing the common crud curriculum because they're sick of their kids sounding like inner city ghetto dwellers.

• Wait- what?? You mean not everyone is a genius??? B-b-b-but I thought everyone gets a trophy! The system is rotten to the common core.
