At an event on Friday sponsored by a leftist think tank, former Massachusetts education secretary Paul Reville called Common Core critics a “tiny minority” and asserted that “the children belong to all of us.”
Reville also claimed that opponents of Common Core are against any academic standards, reports CNSNews.com.
“To be sure, there’s always a small voice — and I think these voices get amplified in the midst of these arguments — of people who were never in favor of standards in the first place and never wanted to have any kind of testing or accountability, and those voices get amplified,” Reville declared.
Typical Leftist strategy, demonize and minimalize your ideological opponents. paint them as extreme, fanatical, or uneducated. Do all you can to discredit them, rater than debating them
Reville, a Harvard professor who served as secretary of education under current Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, then bashed federalism and suggested that children are communal property.
“Again, the argument about where it came from I think privileges certain sort of fringe voices about federalism and states’ rights, and things of that nature,” he told CNSNews.
Ah yes, there you go my friends. Just let the federal government control everything. Never mind that the closer the power is to the people, the better the results will likely be.
