Obama War On Women: EDUCATION SEC. ARNE DUNCAN MAKES WILD CLAIM ABOUT WHY SOME ‘WHITE SUBURBAN MOMS’ OPPOSE COMMON CORE

U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan reportedly said on Friday that some of the opposition to the controversial Common Core State Standards is derived from wealthy white mothers upset to learn their children are not as bright as they thought.
According to the Washington Post, Duncan told a group of state schools superintendents he found it “fascinating” opposition comes from “white suburban moms who — all of a sudden — their child isn’t as brilliant as they thought they were and their school isn’t as good as they though they were.”

Nonetheless, the standards have ignited controversy, with many critical they actually harm the education system.
Last week a video showing a Tennessee high school senior speaking out against the standards at a school board meeting went viral, enjoying over one-million views as of publication.
