Educate yourself. • Knowledge is power. Knowledge brings courage. • Download, copy and document important findings concerning the common core initiative. • Learn about the history of education. How did we get here? • Read How to Counter Group Manipulation Tactics by B. K. Eakman or other relevant books. Get involved in your local school: • Read and review your child’s school textbooks and lessons. • Be alert. Question everything. • Meet with your child’s teachers and the school administration. • Make sure the teachers understand you are on their side. • Work with teachers to ensure your child is not exposed to inappropriate material. • Save copies of inappropriate lessons and document any details.
