RMT: Update on the Technocratic Ed Reform

April 21, 2015Lynne Taylor1 Comment

Back in Sept. of 2014, I researched and wrote about the ties between CCSS, STEM, and the Technocratic Party.

RTM: What Would You Do?

October 26, 2014Lynne Taylor3 Comments

I have no clue what drew you into the battle against Common Core. If you’ve not heard my story of what drew me in, it was what I read about the push for nationalizing education and the injustice therein that got me started. You, your friends, my friends and myself got involved for a myriad […]
