Over the past several years, state capitols and local school districts have become battlegrounds, as parents and teachers have joined in a massive rebellion against the imposition of Common Core State Standards. Dubbed ObamaCore by critics, the Common Core scheme to enlist state governments in enforcing national education standards and curricula has been lavishly funded with over $2 billion in grants from Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates. Members and officials of the liberal-left teachers unions, some of President Obama’s staunchest supporters, have joined with conservative organizations and Tea Party groups to stop, defund, and roll back Common Core at the state and national levels. The National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers have both been forced by irate members to abandon support for Common Core.

What is it about Common Core that has elicited such a widespread, broad-spectrum revolt? For many of the teachers, it is the mandated cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all straitjacket ObamaCore imposes. For many parents, it is the subversive, anti-Christian, hypersexualized, pro-homosexual emphasis of the National Sexuality Education Standards, which were developed by the radical Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN); the pornography-promoting Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS); the abortion behemoth Planned Parenthood; and the National Education Association — among others. For many Common Core opponents, it is the invasive, privacy-destroying data mining that attempts to subject all students to surveillance worthy of an Orwellian police state.
