Republican governors struggling in the GOP presidential contest are weighed down by their failure to fully rebuke Common Core education standards, according to the conservative think tank American Principles Project (APP).

The adoption and implementation of the Common Core State Standards Initiative in more than 40 states around the country since 2010 has wrought two major changes: (1) a notable decrease in the use of fiction and literature in America's reading and English classes and (2) lower reading and math scores on the U.S.

Glenn Beck on Tuesday presented "We Will Not Conform," a unique production airing live in over 600 theaters across America. The show was described as an interactive "night of action" to fight Common Core, a controversial set of educational standards that some say will gravely impact the future of America. After attending this live event last evening, and in light of what was shared; it is obvious that not all is as it seems with the Common Core standards. We all need to take notice and find our common ground to protect our children's future and take whatever part we can in the revival of true American ideals in our state's education system.
