In connection with the release of Glenn Beck’s new book, “Conform: Exposing the Truth About Common Core and Public Education,” we decided to compile a list of the most absurd Common Core problems we’ve seen.
Feel free to tweet us your favorite problems @TheBlazeBooks with #Conform.

A huge amount of my third graders time is spent preparing for and answering questions like this.

RELATED COMMENT:
Common Core is the education takeover of our children by government and corporations, so it must be STOPPED.
The standards sound innocent enough, even magical, like a Disney story, but when you dig deep, you see…
– the types of books our children are forced to read,
– the manipulation of teachers and unions to advance the Left’s agenda,
– the data mining/data capturing on our children and their families,
– and how people, like Bill Gates, use Common Core to destroy the family unit, encourage abortions, advance the homosexual agenda and same sex marriage; while Jeb Bush and his brother Neil use it to line their pockets.
Parents are beginning to wake up nationwide, as they sit down with their children to do homework, and find questionable assignments, like the ones on this link. My personal favorite is #7, where our president becomes part of an English assignment, and children indoctrination becomes evident.
When I see political candidates, like Carlos Curbelo, embracing Common Core, I am ready to tear my hair out. Has he lost his mind? Or his soul?
Common Core HAS TO BE A CAMPAIGN TOPIC in November, just like the culture of life, and the sanctity of marriage.
We cannot continue electing individuals to office that don’t represent our principles and our morals… not now… not ever more!
