The sheer tea party stupidity over this is astounding even for them. Common Core isn't a federal program, the states were the ones that started it, and until the GOPers running Florida saw an advantage, the previous crop were all for it.

I guess it doesn't teach that creationism isn't a fib, America was founded by God, and that foreigners shouldn't be trusted.

His kids must be SO EMBARRASSED.

I actually felt bad for the guy being sandbagged, but then I read the linked story from the videographer. Bonus stars for the writer complaining that her questions were rewritten to sound like they came from actual adults rather than four year olds. Pro tip: if you want people to take you seriously, avoid phrases such as "you have awakened the Mama Bear".

Apparently "arrested" now means "security guy tells you to leave" now. POLICE STATE! Such an allegedly educated man should probably know how to respect decorum at a public hearing as well.

Also, I'd bet money that he actually flunked out of the University of Maryland and that those glasses are empty frames.

The common core is a bunch of bullshit just like NCLB - meet the new boss, same as the old boss. But it is interesting how the Teabaggers are getting involved in opposing it as somehow this new way the gubmint is ruining our lives.

"Look it up online" = "google Ron Paul!"

If you're that worried, then send your kids to private schools.

Some community colleges are actually quite good, and more of them should be.
