The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Jeb Bush and most of the establishment republican candidates support Common Core educational standards.   Here’s yet another example of the indoctrination principles inherent therein:

(Via MyNorthwest) Starting in January of 2016, 6-12 grade social studies teachers will have the opportunity to teach from a “Black Lives Matter” textbook that meets Common Core criteria.
“The first chapter opens up with Michael Brown and Ferguson,” says the textbook’s co-author, Macalester College Professor Duchess Harris. “And then we backtrack to do a historical overview of interactions that African Americans have had with police encounters, historically. Then we return to Trayvon Martin and go all the way up to Baltimore.”
Harris, who lives in Minnesota and has already written a book on the civil rights movement, co-wrote the book with a journalist close to the issue.
“She lives in Florissant, Missouri, which is right near Ferguson, so she was covering it for the papers. So stylistically, in many ways, it’s like newspaper reporting,” Harris said.
The textbook is a part of an educational series being put out by Abdo Publishing. Other volumes cover ISIS, transgender rights, and the vaccination debate.
Professor Harris says kids need to be able to talk about current events and understand them. Through discussions in her university African American studies classes she has learned that events relating to Black Lives Matter were rarely discussed in high school, let alone middle school.
“I’m just hopeful that what you get is a way of being literate around this,” Harris said. “What I found with my undergraduates at Macalester is they know that these things happen. It’s not that they didn’t know that Trayvon Martin happened. No one ever invited them to have a conversation about it.”  (read more)

….. And while the Common Core promoters are always quick to tell you any state can “opt out”, they always seem to miss the part where “opting out” means you don’t get federal educational funding.  Yeah, funny that.
