DATA COLLECTION, STUDENT PRIVACY
As part of Race to the Top and the Stimulus bill, the Obama Administration required states to build massive databases on public-school students.
The Administration “encourages” the states to maintain hundreds of data points in these databases, including health histories, family income status, disciplinary histories, and many more.
The Administration increasingly is demanding access to this data in exchange for federal grants (such as Title I grants for low-income schools). It seeks this data not only for accountability purposes, but also for use in future research projects.
In December 2011, the Administration eviscerated federal educational-privacy law so that governments can now share this data with any entity, public or private, as long as they describe the sharing as necessary to an audit or evaluation of an educational program.
If the Administration succeeds in coercing the states to turn over personally identifiable data on students, the new federal regulations will allow the sharing of this data -- without the consent, or even the knowledge, of the students’ parents – with other government agencies and even private entities.
The Administration is particularly eager to share data with other government departments, such as the Department of Labor, so that children can be tracked from preschool through their advancement through the work force.
If South Carolina participates in Common Core, SC students’ personally identifiable data will be vulnerable to sharing with any entity that audits or evaluates a Common Core program anywhere in the country. The greatest danger comes through the new federally funded assessment schemes. The assessment consortium of which SC is a member has specifically agreed in its contract with the Department of Education to provide the Department with student-level data. This contract gives the Department the right to demand students’ personal information – for “research” as well as accountability.
This data-sharing plan, and its links to Common Core, are an example of the “lab rat” view of the citizenry – the view that we exist to be studied by bureaucrats so that they can better direct our lives. South Carolinians are likely to disagree with this approach.

DUMBED DOWN EDUCATION = DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA
In the early 1990's, Marc Tucker wrote a letter to Hillary Clinton describing his concept for American education. He determined that children should be trained at an early age since working for the state was the most import function of a citizen. (Marxism) Today, Marc has succeeded in implementing his plan. Children will be trained that their life focuses around collectivism – “the good of the collective”, not individualism (American ideology) If you have the stomach to listen to what the Federal Government has in store for our children. Listen http://www.heritage.org/Events/2011/07/National-Standards
The RTTT courses are substandard. . . .
Federal Education Code, Department of Education, Public Law, 20 U.S.C. 3403 (Pub. L 96-88, Title 1, 103, Oct 1979, 93 Stat 670) United States Code. Title 20 Education Chapter 48.
Since the "useful idiots", your new name, are so dumb you won't notice as the Federal Government takes over education and transforms (changes) America into a communist country by indoctrinating (training) you child to "Fight for Communism".
Remember the debt… The Department of Education has the smallest staff but has the third largest budget. CALL your Congressman. Demand an Investigation. CLOSE THIS DEPARTMENT. Save $50 Billion.
Every year Americans pay more money for education while our students get dumber. Are they right? Doing the same thing over and over expecting different results IS THE DEFINITION OF AN IDIOT.
The Federal Department of Education only provides 5% of the states Education budget. Where does this $50 Billion dollars go???
Follow the money …
Can you still do math? The staff is approximately 4500 people. The budget is $50 Billion…
What about the vendors…
It seems as though the Gates Foundation and the companies supported by the Gates Foundation are the winners. The Gates recipients will handle the technology, books, materials, programs, databases, evaluation and procedures. Isn't that sweet.
FLDOE supports Race to Tyranny
The FLDOE does not monitor, review or look at the content of any material they put in the schools for proprietary programs like IB or AICE. Surprise, your child gets a substandard Anti- American Education. written by European socialists. How much is that budget?
Call the FLDOE for yourself, (850) 245-9965 speak to the curriculum department. Ask to speak to the person in charge (Teresa Sweet)of reviewing the curriculum. See if you get the same answer I got when I questioned the anti-American, anti-Family, anti-Free Market European socialist program called IB and AICE, "Submitted materials are reviewed by content experts and are recommended for inclusion on the state adopted list of instructional materials, or rejected. AICE and IB instructional materials are proprietary and are not required to go through the state adoption process." (They only get taxpayer money)
Would you buy a car without a test drive? A house without an inspection? WHY are we using a program from the UN without reviewing it first? Why was Race to the Top accepted without a review. Oh I remember, "we have to pass it before we can see what is in it."
We have become useful idiots. Contact your state and federal legislator and School Board, JUST SAY NO. It is that simple… read about Race to the TOP. (Race to Tyranny) http://restoreoklahomapubliceducation.blogspot.com/
New World Order Global Learning Academy coming to Pensacola
Read their curriculum, they are not interested in teaching about American values and greatness. There is nothing wrong with learning about other cultures but do you have a problem with the fact your tax dollars will pay for this indoctrination?
Taxpayers pay for Radical Islamic Schools
Where is the FLDOE oversight? Oh I forgot, it is proprietary so no one has to look.

The RTTT courses are substandard. . . .
- Courses do not meet college level requirements. Marc feels most children have no need for college.
- History courses are written by European socialists teaches America is the oppressor.
- Study focuses on the environment not reading writing and math…
- Content is not factual. Facts are not important if the consensus says they are not.
- TX Commissioner Scott describes science as laughable only promoting Al Gore theory of climategate.
- History has been altered as new heroes are the old failed communists/fascists/socialists.
- One size shoe fits all education NEVER works so why are we spending fortunes on failed programs expecting different results?
- The National Data Base will create a system of unparalleled control over the future of your children as they become adults and will be charted and recorded for the New World Order.
- States with higher standards are forced to provide lower standards
- Test like the FCAT are used to indoctrinate

- They write the program
- They evaluate the same program
- They write the tests
- They manage the national data base
- They give the same program the stamp of approval
- Bill Gates then goes to Congress and says American are too stupid to work, we need more H1B visas.
