Glenn Beck: If You Have Ears To Hear And Eyes To See, LOOK Into Transformational Education

As more information comes to light about the controversial public school curriculum systems,CSCOPE and Common Core Standards, parents are concerned that their children are growing increasingly susceptible to the influence of bureaucrats seeking to push a political agenda.

As government seeks to expand its reach and some would argue control over America’s youth, some believe that the only way to ensure freedom and autonomy is to step-up conservative ideals of personal responsibility.

On Monday, Glenn Beck dedicated his evening broadcast to discussing these very ideals and how best to identify freedoms that Americans have lost, or are at risk of losing. The segment was catalyzed by a recent statement made by MSNBC host Melissa Harris Perry in which she said, “your kids belong to all of us.”

“They knew full well what they were airing,” Beck said of NBC. “They are airing an announcement that your kids do not belong to you.”

Beck encouraged viewers to learn more about “transformational education,” which he called the “lifeblood” of Common Core. “If you have ears to hear and eyes to see, look into transformational education,” he added.

To help delve into the matter in greater detail, were special guests Jeff Frazee, President of Young Americans for Liberty, writer James Antle, Alex Smith of the College Republican National Committee, and Jonathan Bydlak of the Coalition to Reduce Spending.

Myth
.  Common Core (CC) was a state-led initiative.

Fact
.  The CC standards were initiated by private interests in Washington, DC, without any representation from the states. Eventually the creators realized the need to present a façade of state involvement and therefore enlisted the National Governors Association (NGA) (a trade association that doesn’t include all governors) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), another DC-based trade association. Neither of these groups had a grant of authority from any particular state or states to write the standards. The bulk of the creative work was done by Achieve, Inc., a DC-based nonprofit that includes many progressive education reformers who have been advocating national standards and curriculum for decades. Massive funding for all this came from private interests such as the Gates Foundation. 

Myth. The federal government is not involved in the Common Core scheme.

Fact
.  The US Department of Education (USED) was deeply involved in the meetings that led to creation of Common Core. Moreover, it has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into the two consortia that are creating the national tests that will align with CC.  USED is acting as the enforcer to herd states into the scheme (see next myth).

Texas Governor Rick Perry told the federal government NO to common core. They simple renamed it and got it in the back door of Texas. David Barton and Glenn Beck working to get it stopped.

In Illinios this is called Common Core and is currently in 47 states. Please pass along our page to all your family and friends so parents can get involved on the local levels at their school board meetings.

As you heard from the video commentary it's best to get your child in private school or home school them.

Common Core is meeting oposition with some states have some refused it. Texas Governor Rick Perry refused Common Core only to have another program take its place. That program was reintroduced in Texas as CSCOPE program. Please watch the vidoe with David Barton & Glenn Beck for indepth explanations of this program.

Pass along this page to others and by all means attend your school board meetings, talk to your state legislators before it's too late. Their next goal is home schoolers and private schools, so no one is immune to the federal take over of education.
