From: Phyllis Schlafly, President
Eagle Forum
For
over 25 years, Eagle Forum has tried to protect public school children
from federal control of school curriculum. I am now writing to alert you
to the fact that the Obama Administration is pushing hard to force all
50 states to adopt federally designed content standards known as "Common
Core Standards." This has stirred up parents and other grassroots more
than any issue in a long time
It
is vital that
this federal intrusion be stopped in Pennsylvania. An important
Pennsylvania Senate Education Committee hearing on Common Core is
scheduled by Senate Education Committee Chairman, Sen. Mike Folmer, at 1:00 pm on Wednesday, May 15 in Hearing Room #1 of the North Office Building, Harrisburg (map).
It is essential that the halls be filled with those opposed to Common
Core in Pennsylvania in order to protest the infliction of this federal
program on our state’s school
children.
It
is also important to contact members of the Pennsylvania State Senate
and House and ask them to stop the implementation of Common Core. Your
help is needed to persuade Pennsylvania state legislators to reject this
program, as has been done in many other states, most recently in
Indiana.

to be a land of individual liberty,
respect for family integrity, public and private virtue, and private
enterprise.
