I understand the need for us to educate our young. But, these Common Core standards leave me cold.
I don’t see young folks learning civics, the basic concepts that bind us together as a nation. Politics is not a contact sport- the definition is to have sage and respectful discussions, leading to a useful outcome. It’s not just the jackasses in the House and the Senate- it’s most of us- who have lost the ability to have a conversation with others, learning their point of view and adjusting ours. (It’s the wise person who realizes that not all information is known- and can adjust their thoughts to accommodate new facts. [NOTE: That’s FACTS, not brazen lies.])
