Way too much variances allowed. It was presented as Math and Language only. But school districts are using it to sneak in things like the holocaust thing in California under critical thinking. What's to prevent that from happening again.

Variances? I thought individual local control was a good thing. The local district controls its own curriculum. What's to prevent your school district from using the Holocaust discussion in a high school class now? In theory, nothing. In reality, they know the parents will drop the hammer on them. And should. But that Holocaust exercise had exactly zero to do with Common Core. It would have happened there with Common Core or without it. If you want to prevent things like that from happening, stay involved in your local school district.
