I am working on another post related to the opposition of Common Core…but decided to put it aside after I got the email embedded below on Monday. Common Core should be a boon to education in this country. It will set some standards on student achievement that make sense for math and English…the only [...] Hey all you folks shivering up in the 7th congressional district and beyond, when you’re turning your thermostat down to 50 degrees Fahrenheit today and trying desperately to figure out how in the hell you’re going to pay $5.00 a gallon for propane, if you can find it at all, remember that Congressman Sean Duffy [...] This month’s award recognizing an outstanding achievement in rank ignorance is given to state Rep.
