Proposed ‘Common Core Czar,’ governing body undercut promises to maintain locally controlled schoolsMarch 19, 2014, Ben Velderman WASHINGTON, D.C. – Common Core money man Bill Gates appeared on a news show last Sunday to once again defend the K-12 experiment against charges that it will erode state and local control of public education. Gates’ proclamation was the latest in a string of assurances from Common Core proponents to a skeptical public that the nationalized learning standards – which tell educators which academic concepts to teach students in each grade level – will not shift education-related decisions from state lawmakers and local school boards to bureaucrats in faraway Washington D.C. Those guarantees are far-less ironclad, however, when Common Core backers talk among themselves. eagnews.org/proposed-common-core-czar-governing-body-undercut-promises-to-maintain-locally-controlled-schools/
