Associated Press, State newspaper imply South Carolina parents are liars

With Common Core is being opposed by more parents,
and rejected across the country, the media is increasing
 its assault on SC parents who want legitimate
education for their children, not leftist propaganda. 

The Associated Press has released a story entitled: “Common Core US History standards attacked in

SC”

The pro-Common Core, anti-local standards story is running in most statewide media, from Rock Hill to Beaufort. Most media outlets carrying the story are based in other states dissimilar to South Carolina.

In the story AP accuses: Opponents of Common Core standards of “telling South Carolina education officials that (Common Core) standards for Advanced Placement U.S. History are anti-American.”

Aside from ignoring the fact that it is a legitimate charge, the AP is attacking parents who oppose Common Core Standards.

Those parents (or opponents as AP calls them) brought their complaints to the state Education Oversight Committee on Monday.
The parents are pointing out that Common Core “American History guidelines don't mention battlefield heroes, founding fathers or civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King Jr.”
The AP sides with an anti-South Carolina Standards opponent named Sue Baumann. She is a Richland Northeast High School history teacher. Baumann is attacking the parents and saying “the (Common Core Standards that she supports are) guidelines and a broad overview. “She says any competent history teacher would include King and the other topics.”

But the question is: If the teacher is left to add King, what else can the teacher add, or subtract, from the teachers' version of “history?”

The AP got its synopsis of the assault on local standards from The State newspaper. The State is wringing its hands because droves of parents are offering input to the state's Education Oversight Committee. The left-leaning, pro-Common Core State newspaper fears standards will exclude the Obama-supported, and very unpopular Common Core propaganda.
The proponents of teaching American history, objectively, want stable guidelines included in standards.
