A New Jersey mom says her third-grade daughter was “bullied” by school officials - left out of an end-of-year cupcake and juice box party - because she opted out of the state's version of Common Core testing.
Michele Thornton, of Oldmans Township, said school officials would not let 9-year-old Cassidy participate in Monday's party, telling her the bash was only for students who took the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) exams. Thornton feels especially bad because it was she who told the girl not to take the controversial test, which critics say is part of a plan by Washington to nationalize school curriculums.
“She shouldn’t be punished for something I did,” Thornton tells Foxnews.com. “She’s not a bad kid. It’s bullying. I’m not 9, they can’t bully me.”

Big Deal that the School did that move and file a law suit....
you chose not to be a part of "Hitler's" training camp. you chose to go a different path. this is what you can expect.
You chose not to have her take the test which is your right as a parent. The celebration was for kids who did take the test therefore she doesn't get to attend. It is a good life lesson- choices have both positive and negative consequences.
What are you whining about. She was not allowed to an incentive party for test takers when she didn't take the test. That was your choice. Go buy her a cupcake yourself. You must be a liberal. You want something you didn't earn. $10 you don't even know what common core is.
Gross. Cupcakes and juice boxes together. That's a lot of sugar for a little kid. Better to have milk with those cupcakes.
well if she was f'd up in the head , like oh i dont know maybe thinking she was gay or a different race/culture then she would have been invited hands down!
But these are the same people who didn't want students to feel bad so they promoted them to the next grade when they should've failed them.
