Common Core is the new ‘No Child Left Behind’ and ‘Goals 2000’ from the federal government with more technology and a more brazen step on the path toward a fully ordered society. At its extremity, this ordered society is one in which, children are allowed to be born if they are considered of worthy genetic and socioeconomic status for the ultimate good of the whole society.
One in which those children are immediately tracked and their predispositions are recorded, retina scans are as much a part of post natal care as the requisite amniocentesis to check for fetal abnormalities and genetic deficiencies will be a part of the prenatal care.
Working toward that end, Common Core steps up the dumbing down of US Citizens and residents, legal and illegal. History is a grand mix of truth and fiction, full of suppositions and opinions. Facts are less important than how we feel about the outcome. Classic contemplative thinking skills are replace with more base, animalistic exposure encouraging our young people to experiment with impulsive behavior.
Math is relative.
Literature is sexy.
Science is theory.
Eugenics is cool.
The collective is exponentially more important than the individual.
Some districts are already exploring how biofeedback will enhance the testing experience for students. With heart monitors and sensors attached to students during tests, certain questions will be flagged according to their importance and impact on the ultimate agenda. Social acceptability can be measured by responses, such as heart rate, muscle tension, perspiration and temperature. Facial expressions will also be monitored to gage attitudes while answering questions.
The computerized testing will do all of the coordination of the data and dictate the required education or re-education and prescribe course corrections to guide the student in the most productive and most beneficial path for their particular community.
With government school classrooms full of eager students ready to fall in line, led not by their teachers, who may or may not desire individual achievement over a district wide score. Instead they are mandated by Common Core Programers. The unaware mass will move as one toward a world in which a few elitist control minions working the menial jobs designed for them to keep the few in power.
The infrastructure and distribution of foodstuffs, the production of goods and the services required to keep order and prevent upset will be fulfilled with people prepared for their preset responsibilities from birth. The utopian society will be perfect and everyone will do what they are told because they have been screened and preprogramed to do so.
As soon as the system is fully implemented people will be appointed to be allowed to have children and others denied in order to cull the herd, to improve the breeding stock and create the best possible candidates for their respective positions.
Innovation and creativity will be reserved for the privileged few. Of course, that will mean less inventing, less exploring and less creating. But just think of the peace that such an ordered society would bring: no one thinking for themselves, no one envious or striving to compete, no one fighting or slacking. Everyone will have their place.
Everyone will stay in line, because if they don’t, “What the State has given, the State will take away.” For those people who crave liberty will be suppressed for the good of the whole. I’m sure this will be the best society on earth, aren’t you?
There is no room for individual liberty in an ordered society. Local control is the only way to ensure freedom. Local control begins within each of us. We generally call it self control. Government schools have already contributed to make the USA into a country where self control isn’t important. Let’s not allow this trajectory to continue. Bring back local control to our schools, our curricula and most importantly to ourselves as individuals.
