Dr. James Avington Miller Jr.  and The War Report on Public Education radio show begin a series exposing the dangers of the Common Core. Joining us for this series is Dr. Deborah Duncan Owens. Here is a short taste of what is in store for our listeners:

Are you angry enough yet? How long will the American public tolerate the steady encroachment of corporations into public education? In the first of a series of shows dedicated to the Common Core and the corporate takeover of our public schools, Deborah Duncan Owens will discuss the decades long assault against public education in the United States and the origins of the Common Core State Standards. Our students are over tested, exploited for profit, and victims of spying by corporate and governmental entities. It’s time to say no to the free market ideology driving our education policies in the U.S. and reclaim the sacred ground of public education as an essential democratic institution.

There is a price on the head of every child in America! When did greed become the underlying motive in efforts to systemically reform public education in America? How can we reclaim our public schools and say no to the corporate takeover of education? Deborah Duncan Owens pulls back the curtain that has shrouded the American public from the collusion of the political right and left with corporate America that has been plotting a course to privatize our nation’s public school system.

Join us in a conversation about taking back the sacred ground of public education in America. It’s time to set up a war room and establish a unified plan to end the incursion of corporate America into the lives of our nation’s most precious resource, our children. America’s most vulnerable citizens, those who have no vote or seat at the policy table, are depending on us to put an end to the CCSS debacle, Draconian high stakes testing, and Orwellian student data collecting. United we stand and divided we will fall. It’s time to unite our voices — for the sake of our children and their public schools in America.

Knowledge is power — and the knowledge gained through this series will arm pro-public school advocates with an essential understanding to finally come to grips with the forces that have historically sought to dismantle America’s public school system. Parents and teachers, armed with knowledge about the historical roots of the corporate assault on education, can — through collective action — take back our locally controlled public schools and hold our elected and non-elected governmental policy makers accountable. When parents and students OPT OUT of Draconian high stakes tests that line the pockets of corporate reformers while exploiting the personal information of children, parents and students are OPTING IN to a coalition of Americans intent on preserving our democratic system of public education!

So join us this Sunday, March 29th, as we begin our series on the Common Core Today – Back to the Future.
