TN Student Speaks Out About Common Core, Teacher Evaluations.

Speaking at a local school board meeting earlier this month, a Tennessee high school senior issued a brief and incredibly insightful address on the problems with Common Core standards.

Ethan Young, a student at Farragut High School in Knox County, Tenn., made his case as to why he believes the school district should drop the new national education standards, a set of guidelines that were never voted on by Congress, the Department of Education nor by local or state governments.

Governor Rick Scott and the Florida Department of Education want public input on the federal takeover of schools known as Common Core.

Now is our chance to tell our elected officials how damaging Common Core will be to education in Florida.

You know Common Core threatens local control of our schools. You know the curriculum was designed by special interests who have no stake in your community. And you know that Common Core means more bureaucratic meddling in the affairs of your schools.

If Governor Scott wants our input on Common Core, we will tell him that Florida won’t put up with a top-down takeover of education.

FreedomWorks makes it easy to send a comment. Just go to the FreedomWorks Action Center and fill out the pre-loaded form.

Send a message to Governor Rick Scott and the Florida Department of Education. Tell them we don’t want or need Common Core in Florida.

In Liberty,
