This global agenda [Common Core] is far more intrusive, demanding, and dangerous to Christian families than most of us can imagine.—Berit Kjos, author of A Common Core for a Global Community
LTRP Note: The following is posted for informational purposes. Because Lighthouse Trails is an advocate for children in a number of areas (education, New Age, sexual abuse, etc), we believe parents need to know about Common Core. You may watch the video of the documentary discussed in this press release below (keep in mind, HSLDA interviewed some people who were promoting Common Core to show how the defense is being presented, but HSLDA is not promoting those views). Lighthouse Trails is not affiliated with HSLDA but appreciates the work they do in defending the rights of parents to homeschool their children in the U.S. If you want more information about Common Core, please read Berit Kjos’ important booklet A Common Core for a Global Community and share it with those you know who have school-age children.

PURCELLVILLE, Va., March 31, 2014 /Christian Newswire/ — The Home School Legal Defense Association today released its highly-anticipated documentary Building the Machine, a film that investigates the Common Core State Standards Initiative and how it will affect the American education system.
HSLDA has been opposing Common Core since 2009 and, as public concern over the standards grew, HSLDA Chairman Michael Farris decided that creating a film about the standards would be the best way to make information about Common Core widely available.
Mike Smith, president of HSLDA, says that this film is the first of its kind and will change the conversation. “Homeschooling has shown us that an individualized education is the best thing for a child,” he said. “Common Core is the complete opposite of that. Our hope is that the film will cause a ‘great awakening’ and that parents will question the one-size-fits-all education reform being implemented behind closed doors.” Click here to continue reading this press release from HSLDA.
