Arne Duncan: ‘White suburban moms’ upset that Common Core shows their kids aren’t ‘brilliant’ [View all]

[duffyduff]

Time to impeach this dolt and run him out of town:

U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan told a group of state schools superintendents Friday that he found it “fascinating” that some of the opposition to the Common Core State Standards has come 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 quite as good as they thought they were.”

Yes, he really said that. But he has said similar things before. What, exactly, is he talking about?

In his cheerleading for the controversial Common Core State Standards — which were approved by 45 states and the District of Columbia and are now being implemented across the country — Duncan has repeatedly noted that the standards and the standardized testing that goes along with them are supposedly more difficult than students in most states have confronted.
