“Data Mining” Core or Common Core?

September 12, 2014

On Tuesday, FRC hosted a webcast, "Common Core: The Government's Classroom," which featured several government officials and education experts discussing the flaws behind the Obama Administration's program designed to improve testing and curriculum. Common Core has experienced quite a bit of backlash from both educators and parents alike, as the standards for this program were not fully developed prior to implementation at the state level.

Jane Robbins, J.D., with the American Principles Project, was one of the experts who appeared on our webcast. Robbins discussed how data mining is being used to collect information on students, thus violating their privacy and threatening parental rights. Watch Jane Robbins's interview below.
