In the dark of night our educational system is being handed over to the federal government! Please help return the power back to the states, local educators, and parents!

• What was once a job of the states and local ISDs is now being handed over to the federal government. Nationalized Education is against the law!

• Efforts are being made to level the playing field. Many schools will have to dumb down their standards to align with everyone else.

• Our children will be used as guinea pigs for data mining. The government aims to collect data on your child and then follow them from pre-k to the workforce. The information we once revered as private will be no more.

• Subjects like math have been reinvented and are now ridiculous and confusing.

• Our children will be taught globalism and socialism rather than what it means to be an American. History is being rewritten.

• Standardized testing is being rewritten to align with Common Core. This will affect private and homeschooled children.

• No one truly knows the cost to implement this change.

Teachers can't even teach because of all the test, children can't learn because they are pressured to do well on the test. And I have children with learning disabilities who don't learn at the same rate as others.

My child will never attend a school that uses common core, will never use a textbook that aligns with common core or take a standardized test that aligns with common core. We will leave in droves to private schools or to homeschool. I will not support any candidate that doesn't fight common core.

We need a return to responsibility for parents and students. Data mining is out of control and far too intrusive. The 'new math" is asinine, the history is both incorrect and incomplete. These kids will not be able to compete in a global economy.

Common Core needs to be STOPPED. The idea that Gov Mary has backed it in any sickens me. I really liked what she has done with the State up to backing this. If she does not change her outlook on this subject I WILL NOT vote for her again, it's that much of a deal breaker !!!!

I have 14 grandchildren in the Oklahoma school systems. I DO NOT want them taught under the "Common Core" standards. Our Private, home-schooled, and public educated children MUST NOT fall under such a Non-American Standards.

Oklahoma can do better! There would be no incentive to move to Oklahoma because their education system is better than other states - we are all the same! Oklahoma should strive to have better educational standards and written by Oklahomans for Oklahomans!
