I wanted to see what other states were doing. I think since Okies have such a great sense of self reliance, you will be able to defeat the evil ones who want to destroy our Republic. Stay the course in fighting Common Core. Florida has a harder road to hold and a huge mountain to climb in fighting this. God Bless!<br />Karen, thank you for standing up to the evil one who want to take the children of Oklahoma from the parents loving embrace!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5372317035256264363.post-6990418972868820962013-06-13T15:22:18.728-05:002013-06-13T15:22:18.728-05:00Thanks for attending and giving Baressi the truth....Thanks for attending and giving Baressi the truth. She is up to no good and maybe it was fate your question came up first. I bet she couldn't even tell you how many millions it is going to cost and what will the return on investment would be. I also made the mistake of voting for her but we will keep pushing until we get it right.David Brookenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5372317035256264363.post-61169190275978311552013-06-13T12:14:03.553-05:002013-06-13T12:14:03.553-05:00We should all demand at these meetings that the or...We should all demand at these meetings that the organizers use Roberts Rules when engaging with the public. The "write down your question" is an Alinsky tactic called The Delphi Technique.<br /><br />Google it, it can be disrupted, but the public needs to understand what is happening first.<br /><br />Jenny HatchJenny Hatchhttp://www.jennyhatch.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5372317035256264363.post-55553867851633090792013-06-13T11:15:21.336-05:002013-06-13T11:15:21.336-05:00Her point that Republicans say they're against...Her point that Republicans say they're against socialism and communism, but then allow it in public education, is right on. Milton Friedman, the Nobel Prize winner in economics, wrote many years ago that American public education is the premier example of socialism in our country. As someone who spent 30 years in the profession, I agree with that statement, especially after dealing with 69 unions in the Seattle School District and having great difficulty getting rid of poor performing teachers. (I did manage to do it, however.) My good teachers, of whom I had many as a principal, and I as a math teacher, could attest to how hard it was to make up for a year(s) for a child after he/she received lousy teaching by unprepared or lazy teachers. But the unions didn't care. As the NEA legislative counsel explained at their national convention, their task is to protect teachers' jobs, not educate children. And our legislators won't address that...Niki Hayeshttp://emmanuelacademy-waco.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5372317035256264363.post-53965940308292316192013-06-13T07:37:15.442-05:002013-06-13T07:37:15.442-05:00Awesome response.

Common core is a direct assault on our constitional republic and is meant to make our children subservient to the state. Politicians of both parties willfully subvert our constitution in an effort to seize more power from the people of this nation who are the true masters in our republic.God bless you Karen for standing up to the phonies who would sell out our children for self interest and moneyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5372317035256264363.post-20009458951008883692013-06-12T17:51:50.443-05:002013-06-12T17:51:50.443-05:00Well said Karen.
