A mother of three who came to America because of its reputation as a “shining city on a hill” is pleading with her state lawmakers to flee Common Core any way they can, calling it nothing less than the “communist core” she endured while growing up in China.
“Common Core, in my eyes, is the same as the communist core I once saw in China,” Lily Tang Williams told the Colorado state Board of Education recently.
“I grew up under Mao’s regime, and we had the communist-dominated education – nationalized testing, nationalized curriculum and nationalized indoctrination.”
Her testimony was reported by PJMedia, which said she warned against comparing test scores of American children with Chinese students.
“I am telling you, Chinese children are not trained to be independent thinkers,” she said. “They are trained to be massive skilled workers for corporations. And they have no idea what happened in Tiananmen Square in 1989 where government ordered soldiers to shoot its own 1,000 students.”

What she describes is exactly what our current government wants our children to become.
Can anyone tell me why parents in Wicomico County are so blind to this? At least Worcester County parents and citizens are trying their best to rid themselves of the scourge.
Socialists and Communists have been running the government schools for a long time now. Look at the current crop of high school and college kids. They have done their jobs well.
God Bless this lady!
Worcester's demographics are different from Wicomico's. As a result, their test scores are very much higher than ours. They aren't in a panic to find any curriculum that might help those who don't work and won't learn.
