The MBAE’s false ‘talking points’

The MBAE’s false ‘talking points’

Sandra Stotsky

The MBAE has decided, for unknown reasons, to put out ungrammatical "talking points" (dated March 2016) against the parents' petition to end Common Core and to restore our superior pre-Common Core standards in mathematics and English language arts. The MBAE two-pager is titled "Talking Points on the Ballot Question that would Repeal the Common Core."

The MBAE has already filed a lawsuit against the Attorney General's office (in January 2016) for certifying the parents' petition in September 2015. The lawsuit, in essence, claims the Attorney General's office didn't know what it was doing. The AG's response to the MBAE lawsuit is not yet public. Nor has the MBAE made public who funded its pricey lawsuit, although the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is on record as having given a lot of money to the MBAE in 2014.
