Marcotte:"Scaring people about a thing they call “Common Core” that is merely a stand-in for fears kids might actually get educated if they go to school is what the entire snow job they’re pulling is all about. By raising fears that kids who get a public education are being brainwashed by some nefarious liberal agenda, these activists can justify their actual desire to, well, try to brainwash kids into unblinking acceptance of whatever authority figures in their life tell them to believe."
The failure of government schools is known to any and all who investigate such things. Marcotte in not talking to them, she is talking to her maleducated base, the libs and progs which are produced en masse by the ideology pumps of government schooling. The only true authority figure in Marcotte’s life is herself and those like her who dominate the American government education system. So she is free to make complete distortions like the following, referring to an
NBC report:
"One mother said she was protesting the current state of public education because she opposed “deeper, rigorous thinking” for her kids and wanted them to learn “that there are absolutes, that there are right and wrong answers,” even though, in reality, there really is a lot of gray between the black and white. No matter how much conservatives wish otherwise, teaching people to think for themselves is not “indoctrination” and trying to foist a rigidly unthinking right-wing ideology on them is not protecting them."
Here’s what the mother actually said:
“I want my children to know that two plus two is four, that there are absolutes, that there are right and wrong answers,” Linahan said. “These kiddos are not developmentally ready for this deeper, rigorous thinking.”
Among other things, Marcotte is a liar.
