What parents also don't realize is how subtle the distortion of our history has become in the curriculum. On the surface it appears to be valid. But when put in context with all Common Core subject matter the liberal bias becomes evident. My child is in a private school that uses some of the Common Core textbooks. I review each lesson and point out any truth bending that is presented. The theme of the subjects - liberals good, conservatives bad. I have developed a library for my kid to become "armed and dangerous" for later educational years to confront the liberal bias with "the other side of the story." Its the messaging in the tests to which I profoundly object. As for me, I teach my child to "connect the dots" rather than barf back liberal bias. If my child can do this I feel I will have defeated Common Core and will have a spokesperson for future generations.

I'm amazed at how they're politicizing this. It's a Republican thing, but even some Republicans admit it's ridiculous. I think they're dialing it back b/c it was getting absurd.
