Is Molly Spearman conceding the Ed Super's race?

Have we totally lost control of our
public schools with the nomination
 of  Common Core supporter Molly Spearman?

Is Education Superintendent Candidate Molly Spearman about to concede the Superintendent's race in a Common Core declaration that goes against SC children and parents?

Much is being revealed as The State newspaper implodes after learning Common Core has been ditched by the SC Superintendent of Education Mick Zais.

But the media and the education industry beneficiaries are fighting back.

Spearman, a former admitted Democrat and E.D. of the SC Association of School Administrators, has deep roots in the education industry. She has reportedly contacted Associate Editor Cindi Ross Scoppe of The State newspaper. Scoppe fears that Common Core will be erased from the standards for the state's students.

Spearman, according to Scoppe, wanted to make sure the public knows she is a supporter of Common Core. Sprearman evidently told Scoppe her unwillingness to bash Zais' move to kill Common Core, was an act of civility. She did not want anyone to mistake her lack of an attack on Zais as an endorsement for eradicating Common Core.

Being moved to show her hand, with honesty, could cost Spearman the Ed Superintendent’s post. Spearman bills herself as a Republican. But many Conservative voters will not support her, and would vote for a Democrat, if she is for Common Core.

Spearman's stance for Common Core may force more parents to look for education alternatives.

Just this April, a rally for public charter schools was held at the Statehouse. Thousands of children attend publicly funded, non-traditional charter schools. These children, and their parents love their schools, and the freedom afforded them in a charter school. They are bound to education. Not mandates that feed the pocketbooks and egos of education industry dictators.

The charter school kids are from every social and economic demographic.

A taste of something not under the iron hand of the education industry is intoxicating. Budgets and praise for charter schools are rising, and will continue to rise.

If Molly Spearman is just another version of Inez Tenenbaum or Jim Rex, more deterioration of our public schools will follow. And if Spearman is superintendent, the GOP can be blamed.

Unless the legislature steps in and controls Spearman, the prospects are not bright for public education in South Carolina.

If Spearman, or another Democrat who admits what he is, is the best we can do, our schools are in serious danger.
