Education Sec. Arne Duncan: Some ‘White Suburban Moms’ Oppose Common Core Because it Shows Their Kids Aren’t ‘Brilliant’

K Arne. Why don’t you stop and think about this. If “White Suburban Mothers” are upset because their kids aren’t as smart as they think they are under common core, what does that say about everyone else? If previous A students are struggling with this crap, then how do you think those students that were having a hard time to begin with are faring? Common Core = Communistic Curriculum. You are the stupid one, Arne!

The Blaze:

U.S. Secretary of State Arne Duncan reportedly said on Friday that some of the opposition to the controversial Common Core State Standards is derived from wealthy white mothers upset to learn their children are not as bright as they thought.

According to the Washington Post, Duncan told a group of state schools superintendents he found it “fascinating” opposition comes from “white suburban moms who — all of a sudden — their child isn’t as brilliant as they thought they were and their school isn’t as good as they though they were.”

Common Core State Standards were designed to better the education system and has been adopted by 45 states and the District of Columbia.

Nonetheless, the standards have ignited controversy, with many critical they actually harm the education system.

Last week a video showing a Tennessee high school senior speaking out against the standards at a school board meeting went viral, enjoying over one-million views as of publication.
