Common Core comes with corrupt political strings attached that is going to destroy the future of our county and our freedoms. Get education out of the hands of big government and regain local, teacher and parental control.

Common Core is a lie. It is intended to dumb down our children and place them in jobs for the local economy.

As a citizen and taxpayer of the State of Tennessee, I petition the Governor, the State Board of Education, the State School Superintendent, and the Tennessee General Assembly to take every action necessary to rescind the state’s participation in Race to the Top, the Common Core State Standards Initiative, any agreement to share student data with the federal government or any other governmental or private entity, any national-testing consortium, and any scheme (such as No Child Left Behind waivers) that requires such participation.

Rescind Race to the top and no Common Core State Standards. I want our local school board to be in charge of any and all testing of our students.

Our children are our future! Please remove the Common Core curriculum and replace with a curriculum that our children, instead of merely indoctrinating them with the latest "politically correct" socialist agenda.

Education should be handled in the local communities and not by any federal government. This standard of education in Tennessee will definitely lower the standards for a majority of our children. I think it should be stopped and given back to the parents and teachers in our communities.

The TN Dept. of Education and State Legislatures actions to sell out their citizen's sovereign interest in return for being let of the hook for not delivering against their contracted No Child Left Behind commitments is shameful. How many more times will TN's education elite be allowed (by the state legislature) to foist the next greatest unproven idea onto the school children of Tennessee without suffering any consequences?

Students with disabilities are further marginalized by common core, while typically developing students are presented with standards beyond their developmental abilities.
