"COMMON CORE ROOTS LIE IN TIES BETWEEN BARACK OBAMA, BILL AYERS"
Excerpts: (bold type ours for emphasis)
"The CAC’s stated purpose was to improve Chicago’s public schools using funding from an education initiative by Walter Annenberg. As chairman, Obama handled fiscal matters while Ayers co-chaired the CAC’s other key entity, the “Collaborative,” which influenced education policy. Archives from the Richard J. Daley Library at the University of Illinois at Chicago showed that Obama and Ayers worked as a team to advance the CAC agenda."
"The Chicago Public Education Fund was created in 1998 by Obama, Ayers, and the rest of the CAC board. Then-Illinois state Sen. Obama was a member of the leadership council, as was Bill Ayers’ father, Thomas Ayers, and brother, John Ayers."
"The Fund existed and still exists to carry on the work of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge — that work being the expansion of Theodore Sizer’s Coalition of Essential Schools, the reform movement that now (even absent Common Core) indoctrinates students in several states and districts nationwide with a Marxist-Communist political, moral and social ideology."
Grow Network was introduced as a new endeavor in CPS’s 2002 Education Plan, in which the school district announced that the initiative would “produce more accessible reports on student performance” and provide “clear and effective tools for principals, teachers, and parents.”
In the CPS Education Plan, “The Honorable Senator Barak [sic] Obama of Minor, Barnhill, and Galland” was listed as a member of the Planning and Development Advisory Committee
