"Nicholas Tampio wrote a book about Common Core & its threat to democracy. It is the zombie of education. In this article from AP, he warns that Common Core continues to flourish under DeVos who has approved virtually all plans that include the Common Core or a slightly modified version. According to Education Week, even when states have revised the standards, “the core of the Common Core remains.”24 states have “reviewed and revised” their English and math standards under the Common Core. In some instances, such as in NY, the revised standards are known by a different name. “This is worth pointing out because, as a political scientist, the Common Core has soured many people on public education and civic life in general. When one group of people decides the national education standards, other people feel alienated from the schools and the democratic process.”
