Eye on US Education (EUSE) is asking States to join Florida in a Demonstration against the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) on Saturday, April 5th – the birthday of Booker T Washington.
We will say the Pledge of Allegiance at the same time nationwide: 2:00 PM Eastern, 1:00 PM Central, 12 Noon Mountain, 11:00 AM Pacific.
Another email – with Demonstration “Do’s and Dont’s” – will be sent in a few days.
Suggested signs for the demonstration:
GENERAL SIGNS:
“STOP COMMON CORE” ,
“GOV. ———-: STOP COMMON CORE”,
“VOTERS AGAINST COMMON CORE”,
“TEACHERS AGAINST COMMON CORE”
“PARENTS AGAINST COMMON CORE”
SPECIFIC ISSUES:
Common Core is dumbing down our students
Common Core cost is ridiculous
Common Core violates our children’s privacy
Stop Fed Ed
Stop Indoctrination
Local Control, not Federal
Entirely untested
Kids are Guinea Pigs
Follow the Money
Lack of Parental Input
Excessive Testing
Teaching for the Test
Lack of Quality
Cost to Taxpayers?
Early American History Not Taught
No Legislative Approval
Personal Data Collected
Lack of Input from School Boards
Inappropriate Standards for Early Childhood
Children Frustrated and Confused
Parents Denied their Rights
THIS IS THE ONE THAT I MADE UP:
C risis
C oming to
S chools
S oon
You can use any of the signs – or can make up your own. Please – no derogatory terms, calling of names, etc. I guarantee that is what the media will pick up – giving them an excuse to “slam” our efforts.
