Could Common Core lead to more Lawsuits Against CT Schools?

Those who have not yet educated themselves about the Common Core program that is being rammed through might want to take the time to start doing some serious research into the matter.
Several articles & youtube videos have been posted in this blog prior to this, this article below speaks about the potential problems with the CT Constitution & the lowered standards of the Common Core program

Some seem to be under the impression that Common Core is a good thing "because it has standards" are merely parroting what they heard someone else say rather than actually looking at the standards & materials.

Reality is much different than the promotional propaganda as it's "standards"  were developed by non-educators who are profiting by the sale of these materials to the schools. This is merely an arbitrary set of standards that have been set by some guys who want to make money & are in fact lowering what is being taught to the majority of students, so those that are at grade level & above suffer

CT has had law suits & we here in Windsor last school year had the veiled threat of NAACP going for lawsuit against us but this Common Core program is only going to bring even worse problems for us if we continue to progress with this in our schools.

Parents in other states along with Superintendents of Schools have pushed their states to get out of Common Core. Parents in the lower part of the state are finding out about Common Core & are fighting to gt their students out of it & the data-mining

I suggest that the parents & grandparents in Windsor start researching Common Core & get active in the fight to remove both Windsor Schools & Schools in CT out of Common Core & save our children from this horrible educational experiment that will be detrimental to their higher education opportunities after graduation & career opportunities.
