THE EDUCATION OUR CHILDREN ARE GETTING IN QUESTION

THE TRUTH ABOUT RACE TO THE TOP

 

5/29/11

 

Hello Congressmen:
Is anybody home?

The money you are giving out (which we don't have in case you forgot) is for the indoctrination of the children under the UN and Global Government. Just another unread, unproven, illegal supreme waste of taxpayers money on a program designed to nationalize education using a COMMUNIST curriculum that teaches the GOOD OF THE COLLECTIVE and dumbs down American students.

 
The curriculum is ANTI AMERICAN. Is anybody paying attention? Do you care? What happened to defund the DOED?

Once this is implemented you have four years before American children are indoctrinated into communism and you will never see a conservative in office again.

MONEY is not the problem with education. The curriculum is. Did you even look at the ANTI-AMERICAN curriculum? I hope you don't have children.

By the way in case you are interested, RTTT violates the education code.


Education code.  RTTT is without significant funding since this was and will force schools into a national data base (at some unknown cost).  Why does the federal gov't need a national data base of student progress? Who manages it?  Where does it go?  This action is illegal according to Department of Education, Public Law -- 2/01/10  20 U.S.C.  3403 (Pub. L. 96-88, Title I,  103, Oct. 17, 1979, 93 Stat. 670). United States Code. Title 20. Education. Chapter 48.  The Federal Gov't is not to get involved in a national data base or curriculum.

Education in Cuba Under Communism

Once the Communist regime of Castro took over Cuba, it changed education into indoctrination. Teaching Communism and Marxism and modified the truth about Cuban history to adapt to Marxist teachings.  History repeats itself and now the same thing is happening again, but in a different country, the USA.  

U.S. Department of Education Announces $200 Million to Continue State-Led Reforms Under Race to the Top

Nine Finalist States Are Eligible to Compete for Grants

The U.S. Department of Education announced today that nine finalist states that did not win grants in the first two rounds of Race to the Top (RTT) will be eligible to compete for $200 million in additional funds this year. Applications will be available in the early fall.

The nine states, Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and South Carolina, can seek grants ranging from $10 million to $50 million, depending on state size and the final number of grants. Given that these grants are smaller than the ones originally applied for, states will work with the U.S. Department of Education to update their RTT plans to reflect a more limited scope of work.

"Every state that applied for Race to the Top funds now has a blueprint for raising educational quality across America," said U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. "These funds will encourage states to continue their courageous work to challenge the status quo and build on the momentum for education reform happening in our classrooms, schools and communities."

The Department chose to make the $200 million available in a competition among Race to the Top finalists in order to support states that have demonstrated capacity and commitment around bold reform plans that address the Obama Administration's four core reforms: raising academic standards, building cradle to career data systems, investing in great teachers and leaders, and turning around persistently low-performing schools.

Race to the Top applications were scored on a 500-point scale across a broad set of criteria. While the 12 original winners of RTT scored 440 or above all of the finalists scored above 412. The non-finalists scored more than 20 points lower.

"In phase 2, we had many more competitive applications than we had funds to award," said Duncan. "We're committed to working with the states that are the most serious about education reform."

In the fiscal year 2011 appropriations bill passed in April, Congress provided the U.S. Department of Education with $700 million for the Race to the Top initiative, including an authorization to fund an early learning competition within Race to the Top. $500 million of these funds will support the new Race to the Top Early Learning Challenge, announced by Secretary Duncan and U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius earlier today.

In his remarks today, Duncan thanked Congress for supporting Race to the Top saying, "We are deeply grateful to Congress for supporting these programs. Congress understands the value of investing in education reform, particularly early learning, even in these economic times."

The Obama Administration has also proposed to continue Race to the Top in fiscal year 2012 and is seeking authority to develop a district-level competition.
