Nevadans Against Common Core (Nevada Academic Content Standards)


The federal government rushed cc

Indiana Testimony October 2013


Dr. Milgram CC Feedback and Validation Committees answering the question.

Who rushed the CC Validation Committee?


Q – “Why did the Validation Committee get rushed?” Milgram – “It was a budgetary question.”


Q – “From the federal government?”

Milgram – “From the federal government, I don’t know how that happened. We were supposed to be independent of the federal government.”


Q – “How much influence does the federal government have then, over Common Core?”

Milgram – “I’m not the person you want to ask about that, I don’t know.”


Q – “That raises a big concern, if there was such a rush at the federal level to get this through, that just opens up several more cans of worms.”

Milgram - "As long as you're aware of them then you can look into them, and then I've done my job."


The reason this is a problem is because two former counsels general to the U.S. Department of Education, Robert Eitel and Kent Talbert tell us:

THERE ARE THREE FEDERAL LAWS THAT PROHIBIT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FROM DIRECTING, SUPERVISING OR CONTROLLING ELEMENTARY (K-12) AND SECONDARY SCHOOL CURRICULA, PROGRAMS OF INSTRUCTION AND INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS, THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION (USDOE) HAS PLACED THE NATION ON THE ROAD TO A NATIONAL CURRICULUM."
