Do You Know What Common Core Is?
Common Core is a socialist education model that has been adopted by most states in the union. It will require every student in the nation’s schools to learn according to the same standards in the same way with limited flexibility on the part of teachers. Teachers will be judged in part by their adherence to and success with these rigid standards.
Common Core is defined by Wiki as “clear, measurable standards for all school students. Rather than norm-referenced rankings, a standards-based system measures each student against the concrete standard. Curriculum, assessments, and professional development are aligned to the standards.”

LOUISVILLE â The Rev. Dr. Robert L. Stivers, a renowned ethicist, died in Tacoma, Washington, on December 23, 2020, at age 80.
An ordained Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) minister, Stivers taught religion and ethics at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma for 37 years. Upon his retirement in 2009, he was appointed Professor Emeritus of Religion and Ethics.
Throughout his career, he explored the ethical dimensions of environmental and economic issues and advocated for a âsustainable society.â He encouraged everyone to have love and appreciation for the natural world and to live accordingly. He stands as one of a key group of Christian ethicists who helped bridge the gap between the church and the academy, deepening the churchâs social witness with their scholarship, activism, and concern for the General Assembly.
Final Call News
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
In America, according to the Constitution, we have the right of freedom of speech and freedom of assembly. I’m grateful to God to live in a country that made that type of provision in the basic legal document that is the foundation of the politics and governance of this society.
Why did the founding fathers say “freedom of speech” was necessary?
When you have government that tells lies to the people and manipulates fear in the people to accomplish agendas that are not necessarily in the best interest of the people, “freedom of speech” will allow one to speak truth to power to save the citizens from the deceptive practice of wicked government.
