The real impacts of Common Core to Volusia County schools and why News-Journal should have looked further before promoting it

Posted Tue, 2013-06-18 10:57 Link: http://headlinesurfer.com/content/412263-real-impacts-common-core-volusia-county-schools-and-why-news-journal-should-have-look

 
Multimedia / video
Editor's Note: Check out this video link below and perhaps you can empathize with African-American citizens who are vulnerable to the abuses of others in a position of authority, in a racially-charged comminity like Jasper, Texas where a black man was tied to a chain and drgged from the back of a pick-up truck through the sstrrets where he was decapitated. About the only thing rewarding in this ugly incident is despite the bravado of these two rogue cops, this young woman was more than they could handle. Imagine if the shoe was on the other foot and one of them had their head bashed into a countertop and was slammed to the floor, before being dragged into a jail cell. That they were fired should be the least of their worries. Hopefully, the FBI will investigate.
