Truth in American Education truthinamericaneducation.comThe Vehicle of Our Future
Have you ever bought a new car? Was your experience with the dealerships and salespeople enjoyable and pleasant? Didyou experience buyer’s remorse? When you buy a car you are buying something that will reliably deliver you to your destination. Your state adopted the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and you, as a taxpayer, are in the process payingfor something you will never own. The CCSS will not get our students college and career ready, insure student academicsuccess, provide a secure future, or protect our liberty. A new car will get you to your destination while the CCSS is anexpensive vehicle that will drive our country further down the road of mediocrity.
