    Kinda makes you wonder; Why have a state run system instead of local anyway doesn't it?
    Common Core and all other Progressive, Socialist, Communist, etc... by any name they are efforts to completely shut down all opinions and systems bar one. America became the free nation it was not because of 'progressive' agendas, but because of Liberty under God. God and Liberty have been driven away, so we will learn AGAIN :(, that absolute authority under man will rule absolutely and wickedly. Children will become wards of state, parents sperm and egg donors, and education to serve the needs of the 'party'. Nothing new under the sun.

    Re: “Guest Commentary
    Pima Mujer@ Parents bear the primary responsibility to rear their children, not the state. Abortion, public school, social services, etc... are simply the government taking on the primary responsibility of the parent, and in the bigger theater, the people. Consequently totalitarian governments promote a value system, make no mistake on that.

    My point is we are witnessing the breakdown of the traditional family [Father Mother Children] as the core of society, and the transfer of the people to the 'nanny' state. As people begin to live primarily for personal pleasure; fidelity, monogamy, family, children, etc... become burdens to individuals. Someone has to become the 'parent'. That brings us to our modern state. Consider the arguments for abortion; What about rape, incest, not being mature enough, unplanned, etc... Never once is the life of the unborn child primarily considered. Promiscuity should be discouraged and responsibility for decisions that result in children should be supported. Make no mistake; the primary purpose of sex is to produce children, No sex means no children. I recommend you read some abortion survivors comments in a recent article here:
    http://www.thenewamerican.com/culture/fait…

    "I am happy to be alive. I almost died. Every day I thank God for life. I do not consider myself a by-product of conception, a clump of tissue, or any other of the titles given to a child in the womb. I do not consider any person conceived to be any of those things." from the article.

    On the other issue of imposing values; Society is imposing a value whenever they make a law, the question to be asked is what values will make a society prosper? Any value system that reduces man to a freak of nature, an animal that is simply a mass to be managed, and tells people they can do whatever they want without concern for others; why then are we surprised to see the murder of innocents promoted, mass killings like Newtown, bullying, racism, abortion etc...? Or to see the rise of Hitlers and Stalins who have, in the last century, in times of peace, killed more people [135 million (and that is what we can count!) dead] than in all wars combined? This is the direct result of belief that man has no value except to be a productive citizen to serve the masses. An ideology that minimizes the value of human life will lead to a chaos that will require a dictator to control.
    Abortion is simply a fruit of the tree of Darwinian ideology.

    When Jesus was being led to be crucified, many mourned and cried at the injustice. But He responded reminding us a worse day was yet to come... [Note Simon, a bystander was FORCED to serve the state...] Today the prophecy is fulfilled in our nation. And the tree is now beginning to shrivel and dry... Consider the despair to follow... Consider the plight of those who today live under totalitarian governmental systems and ideologies that see certain individuals as burdens. Today, many of those now pray for death to come and deliver them. Governments can be cruel parents. God Help Us.

    Consider Luke 23:26-31
    When they led Him away, they seized a man, Simon of Cyrene, coming in from the country, and placed on him the cross to carry behind Jesus. And following Him was a large crowd of the people, and of women who were mourning and lamenting Him.

    But Jesus turning to them said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, stop weeping for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. “For behold, the days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’

    “Then they will begin TO SAY TO THE MOUNTAINS, ‘FALL ON US,’ AND TO THE HILLS, ‘COVER US.’ “For if they do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”
