Huppenthal was to speak at the Tempe Republican Women's group tonight, of which I'm a member. He was scheduled to talk for an hour and attendees were to get a whopping 15 minutes to ask him questions. I decided not to go-- I would just get frustrated AGAIN that he gets to control the dialogue and ask for his petition to be signed.
Harry Mathews:
I don't blame you. It gets to be like the "Delphi Technique". You sit there and get spoon fed and if you don't swallow it then there is something wrong with YOU. I hate that. The contempt for the public is beyond adjectives
Thusydides (Alias used by John Huppenthal):
Harry,
You are a good man and have done a lot to advance the conservative cause. But, these are very good standards and completely conservative standards. The shrillness of this column, the personal, Saul Alinsky, style of the attack and the false statements made, are unbecoming of you and anyone who would call themselves a conservative.
Harry Mathews:
I disagree Thucydides. There is NOTHING conservative about Common Core. The problems are legion. If you want more evidence please visit The Coalition Against Common Core: http://teach1776.ning.com/group/the-coalition-against-common-core/f... where i have posted 324 articles (so far) on this subject.
The biggest problem is that these "standards" (many of which haven't even been written yet) have been forced upon the public using the Delphi Technique. Federal standards for education are definitionally a slap in the face to the founders of this country and unconstitutional. Don't get me started.

Thucydides,
There is nothing even lawful about national standards and the Department of Education. Nor is there anything conservative about the Gates Foundation. Once you do more research, you'll find Common Core is just a huge money laundering gimmick that will dumb down the future electorate. It's all money and power, labeled with agreeable names so the public swallows it.
Name one program the government has run successfully and efficiently.
Harry Mathews:
HEAR! HEAR!
