Governor McCrory has had to clean up a lot of the former Governors debacles. One is her acceptance of federal money to change the curricula of our students in NC to meet FED guidelines. We want our children to learn under the best possible curricula and Common Core is not the standards we need for them.

Moore Republican Women condemns Common Core. Education is a state responsibility per the U.S. Constitution. Stop Federal intrusion. Common Core is not "for the children." Common Core is for BIG BUSINESS.

NC is smart enough to develop their own standards without allowing the feds to force their standards on us. Once in the door, they will take over education!

We don't need this nonsense in NC. We need our kids to be taught American history and the other traditional subjects.

"Common Core is Communism." - Charlotte Iserbyt, "Exposing the Global Road to Ruin through Education", former Sr. Advisor to Ronald Reagan, U.S. Department of Education, author of "The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America". Gov. McCrory, the lie has been exposed. If you have been misled, this is the time to change course and stand solidly with the citizens of NC against this tyranny.

Please optout of Common Core. Our children need better than this. Read the history books from Common Core to see how it makes our nation look. Also the math is terrible.

Something is terribly wrong when you have to sign a nondisclosure agreement when working on CC Standards! Governor McCrory, you need to find and talk with Sandra Stotsky and James Milgram. WHY would they not sign off on the CC Standards???

Common Core's intention to intrusively data mine our children in are;as such as political, religious, sexual emotional and psychological, is outrageous.Extremely onerous questions about self and family violates student and family privacy and such data mining has no place in our government schools.

Common Core=turning a simple subtraction problem into a ten stepper. It just doesn't make sense.

Please opt North Carolina out of Common Core. I have two students in our state school and their standards of education are mediocre at best. The teachers are struggling to implement the standards which are below what they were teaching a couple of years ago.

Governor McCrory this legislation is extremely important to North Carolina education. Common Core is a horrible attempt of Progressive social engineering. Please support this bill.
