New Study Calls Out 67 Common Core Features Linked to Childhood Distemper
Researchers conducting studies of the warp of the single-stranded RNA virus causing childhood distemper spotlight the ubiquity of Common Core classroom toxins, identifying a first round of 67 products and procedures that should be the target of childhood distemper prevention efforts.
A grassroots citizens group, the Cooperative Childhood Curriculum Coordinating Committee (CCCCC), stepped up to fund the study after researchers could not find a university not beholden to Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation grant money.
After trying for six months to interest an education reporter in their findings-- or to get a letter into The New York Times-- CCCCC took out an ad announcing the ominous result of the research.
"Every child in public school today has been exposed to products and procedures mandated by the National Governors Association and validated by consortia funded by the US Department of Education that increase his/her risk of getting distemper," warns the report.
"Unfortunately, the link between toxic Common Core curricula and childhood distemper has been buried under claims about educating workers for the global economy."
The study provides a road map for childhood distemper prevention by identifying high-risk Common Core procedures that give children a curriculum cocktail of endocrine disruptors. This lethal cocktail includes:
insufficient recess
absence of fingerpainting in kindergarten and art in higher grades
lack of music
closed and restricted libraries
books assigned by lexile scores instead of student choice
saturation of math homework requiring to explain how they obtained answers
Childhood distemper symptoms include:
Lethargy, restlessness, depression, temper tantrums, refusal to attend school.
Researchers found that students with the highest exposure to close reading were at greatest risk of developing distemper.
Officers at NCTE and IRA refused comment but insisted their Common Core publications include no toxins.
After being turned down for funding by universities, teacher professional groups, and the PTA, CCCCC group members solicited donations through lemonade sales outside schools.
