No to Common Core. According to the New York Post’s story, Hunter Biden in 2015 introduced his Father, then VP in the Obama Administration, to a Top Exec Vadym Pozharskyi at Ukrainian Burisma Holdings Ltd after Hunter joined the company’s board which was Paying him up to $83,000 a Month. The insinuation is that Hunter Successfully Influenced his Father to Pressure Ukraine Government officials “into Firing the Prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who was Investigating Corruption against Burisma. Facebook and Twitter took action to limit distribution (censored) the New York Post story citing Emails purportedly Revealing Evidence of Influence-Peddling by Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden. The Emails were obtained from a Laptop which had a sticker from the Beau Biden Foundation, and had been Abandoned at Computer-Repair Shop, named “The Mac Shop” in Wilmington, Delaware and owned by John Paul Mac Isaac, who then reported the laptop’s contents to authorities which determined that the laptop and hard drive contain fruits of criminal activity. Joe Biden and his family engaged in "Legal Corruption" despite claims of no wrongdoing and the Liberal Main Stream Media Refuses to Talk and will never Report about Hunter Biden’s laptop and emails, fearing Democratic Presidential Nominee Joe Biden will Lose the 2020 Election if this information is exposed to the American People. This is evidence that Joe Biden participated in his Family’s CASH-for-Influence Scheme with Shady Foreign Companies. The American People should be demanding that the Media investigate this scandal before they VOTE, but we know, the Media will never report on Hunter Biden’s emails because it would be harmful to Joe Biden.

My child is a first grader and is struggling with Common Core math. To be honest, I even have to read the word problems more than once to understand them. If a first grader is trying to master reading and math it makes no sense to lump them together into word problems. It is overwhelming for them and frustrating for the parents. The Common Core Standards are not helping Catholic School education, they are hurting it!

Catholic schools have a tradition of superior academic excellence. Why would we want to adopt "a set of minimum standards"? Catholic schools should NOT be taking ONE PENNY of state or federal funding. Keep the government OUT of our schools.

Remove the common core and teach common sense again. This doesn't even make sense to our teachers. Most importantly, parents will be looking for alternatives yo common core and our enrollment will increase.

I was assured by Mrs Livia Riley Superintendent of Schools Department for Catholic Schools Office, that the Diocese has no intention of lowering their standards to common core, but making sure they are inclusive of the states material while keeping their same standard of excellence. I don't see how that is possible, and would prefer to keep common core out of our children's education all together. Teach them to think, teach them to reason, teach them to reach beyond the test and seek knowledge. You can't possibly keep the same level of excellence we have come to expect in our Catholic Schools and teach common core principles, they are contradictory concepts and there isn't enough time in the school day as it is. Let our teachers teach, keep common core out of our schools.

I saddens me that even have to sign this, as Common Core and it's aligning material goes against everything Christians believe in. Our school is under the Diocese of Harrisburg and out Bishop's opinion is COMPLETELY different than the Bishop of Pittsburgh. How is this even possible?

Common Core is educationally and morally unsound. It has NO business being adopted by a Catholic Church or any Christian church. My extreme displeasure with be noted in our church envelope.
