Content-less Education: Common Core! Empty Promises

  I keep seeing required material that has no particular value and "Common Core" is an example of a silver bullet that is vacuous if not downright dangerous.  If you want to understand "Common Core" you should get a copy of C.S. Lewis's book The Abolition of Man and read it.  For Common Core substitute Lewis's term "The Conditioners" who are manipulating the minds of the young before their critical faculties kick in.  Bad stuff!
