Jindal Challenges Obama's Unlawful Coercion Common Core - 0 views

  •  
    Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal filed a lawsuit in federal court last month against the Obama administration over its use of federal funding and waivers from No Child Left Behind (NCLB) to encourage states to adopt Common Core national standards and tests. Those in opposition to Common Core feel that the standards in place under Common Core could possibly result in standardizing weakness instead of reinforcing standards of excellence. The proof of this concern is found as states compare the effects of Common Core against previous standards of excellence. Those who agree with Governor Jindal's concern argue that Common Core national standards and testing will ultimately support federal control over education - a move that will only further weaken individual responsibility of schools and districts.

Obama Signs Executive Order Banning The Pledge Of Allegiance In Schools Nationwide - AB... - 1 views

  •  
    In this article it explains Obama signing the Executive Order 13738 and the reasons on why the Pledge of Allegiance is being banned. It was banned due to lack of freedom of religion.
  •  
    Banning the Pledge of Allegiance in America sounds very ridiculous to many citizens. After reading the article, I somewhat understand the reasoning behind Obama's decision however, in his own words, Obama stated his action stemmed from his personal belief. One man's personal belief should not supersede the personal belief's of a million others. On a side note, President Trump revoked this executive order on March 27, 2017.
  •  
    The reason why people have a problem with it is because of the "Under God" part. I'm not sure about that park because it doesn't say which God they are talking about. I do think it would be best to keep it out of schools until the words "Under God" is removed. I think a better way to do this would have been removing the "Under God" part. Overall I do support removing "Under God" from the pledge.
