Breitbart on fight over new Common Core movie and the great Op-Ed from Ky. Sen. Katie Stine

Breitbart has an interesting article up about the latest Common Core State Standards skirmish between the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) and the Fordham foundation.

The HSLDA released a very powerful documentary video about Common Core on Monday.

Common Core supporter Fordham (which has received money from the Gates Foundation) was seriously stung by the movie and immediately released a critique that didn’t win any admiration from Breitbart’s education writer.

What makes this a Kentucky story is that Breitbart picked up on Kentucky Senator Katie Stine’s recent Op-Ed in the Herald-Leader, which does a nice job outlining how Common Core misses the mark for kids and also does not fully meet muster against Kentucky’s Senate Bill 1 from the 2009 regular legislative session.

Congratulations to Sen. Stine for getting this stuff right and getting a national media pickup for talking about a system where Kentucky public school students have no choice but to participate.
