I believe it was Thomas Jefferson who said, "That government is best which governs least".
Anything the government at any kevel touches is instantly corrupted. I don't want the government involved in education, the environment, jobs, mortgages, student loans, etc.
To me, that is enough to vehemently fight against common core or any other program conceived by a government bureaucrat.
You are free to believe what you want to. You are obviously sincere in your support for CC but as most the other posters have either said or insinuated, you seem to be looking at CC with rose colored glasses. History shows that our government is corrupt, why not limit it from further incursion into our lives?
