Monday morning

Dear patriot,

D.C. liberals are taking control of our schools, because they think women are too stupid to know what's good for their own kids.

That's why I am demanding President Obama fire Education Secretary Arne Duncan after Duncan attacked white women who oppose Common Core curriculum and called their children stupid.

"It's fascinating to me that some of the pushback is coming from, sort of, white suburban moms who — all of a sudden — their child isn't as brilliant as they thought they were and their school isn't quite as good as they thought they were, and that's pretty scary," Duncan said in a speech in Richmond, Va., addressing the Council of Chief State Schools Officers Organization.

Duncan attempted to walk back his comments, but while he called his choice of words "clumsy" he never denied the Obama administration thinks less of women who question Common Core or their children.

"A few days ago, in a discussion with state education chiefs, I used some clumsy phrasing that I regret – particularly because it distracted from an important conversation about how to better prepare all of America's students for success," Duncan wrote on the Education Department's website.

Not only does Common Core dumb down our schools, it's dumbed down the Education Secretary.

It's time to expel Common Core from our schools.

Duncan did not deny the Obama administration thinks less of Common Core critics who are white or women.

He did not deny the Obama administration thinks your children are dumb.

He just said his wording was "clumsy."

Obama has no choice but to fire Duncan and apologize for his racist, sexist attack on women and children.

His only regret is that his attitude toward women distracts from his desire for more failed federal control over local schools.

That's not an apology. That's an indictment.

I'm doing what I can to stop Common Core, but liberals have designed it to function even if D.C. opposes it.  Opposition to Common Core must be also led by the states. 

Texas may not have officially taken Common Core standards, but they did work with the same groups in the writing of the TEKS. Texas needs to kill CScope and reject Race to the Top funding if we are to get Washington mediocrity out of our schools.

Warmest wishes,

Congressman Steve Stockman
