1. Bullshit alert. I'm no supporter of common core, but....

The link provided includes student samples, these samples are where I'm finding "jew" or "italian", as opposed to the presence of these terms in the *actual standards*.

Additionally, I'll bet we aren't going to see "creationism" or "evolution" among these linked PDFs.

So, we can justifiably criticise Common Core generally, or the NY state pages more specifically, but the actual linked documents would not and should not, IMO, be expected to contain gay rights or womens rights content or topics.

Sorry, just bein' real.

Also, and I am USUALLY a proponent of local control, but because modern humans move from city to city and state to state so frequently, some commonality nationwide is SMART, don't you think?

So, to that end, I think common national core standards are appropriate.

Now check this out: if all state would have to agree to adoption, guess what ISN'T going to make the cut?

Creationism v Evolution, Abortion, and Gay Rights and even Womens Rights.

So seriously....

"Sexual orientation" is the accepted phrase. Starry Messenger Jul 2012 #5

I certainly accept the phrase, but does Texas and Utah? NYC_SKP Jul 2012 #6

Your point was not clear, it looked like you were using an incorrect phrase. Starry Messenger Jul 2012 #7

Are you intoxicated? Starry Messenger Jul 2012 #9

What a lovely thought. NYC_SKP Jul 2012 #10

I thought you said you were using it to highlight the bigoted ideas in other states. Starry Messenger Jul 2012 #12

YOU called it a mistake. I was making a point about the likelihood of CC being adopted. NYC_SKP Jul 2012 #13

Nice mouth. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth? yardwork Jul 2012 #20

Hi, yardwork. NYC_SKP Jul 2012 #21

Unless you are gay, you don't get to tell me what is and isn't homophobic. yardwork Jul 2012 #23

Since Yardwork is gay, her "reality" is what is authentic obamanut2012 Jul 2012 #24

When a person says 'sexual preference' I count that person as a bigot. When they are told it is Bluenorthwest Jul 2012 #26

Yardwork. I almost embarrassed myself. I feel really badly for you and hope you a better life. NYC_SKP Jul 2012 #22

I'm sorry about your mom. The meaning of the phrase I used is widely understood. yardwork Jul 2012 #25

Actually, there used to be some trepidation about all your eggs in one basket. mbperrin Jul 2012 #3

So, again, Common Core standards do not attempt to address every human grievance. NYC_SKP Jul 2012 #11

hence the use of the term "common" mopinko Jul 2012 #15

Exactly, and thank you for re-railing my original comment onto the intended track. NYC_SKP Jul 2012 #19
