To the surprise of no one, the St. Tammany Parish School Board approved a resolution Thursday night calling on the state to pull the plug on the Common Core standards.

Common Core: A Scheme to Rewrite Education
Common Core — new national education standards that the federal government is bribing and coercing states to adopt — will harm students, not benefit them.
Orwellian Nightmare: Data-mining Your Kids
Being implemented hand in hand with the new national curriculum standards being pushed on schools, called Common Core, is government surveillance of students.
