Many books recommended to students by Common Core Curriculum are filled with erotic pornography.

==Reasons to oppose Common Core==
There is a push by the [[National Education Association]], the federal government and governors to spread Common Core. They don't have the best of intentions.
*A federal takeover of education: Education should remain a local concern. Common Core gives centralized power to the federal government.
*Aggressively promoted without responsibility: States were given Race to the Top grants to implement Common Core without field-testing nor proven standards.
*Developed by the same people who have made public education a mediocre mess.
*Dishonest use of the term standards: A stated goal that many students will never reach, such as reading and math proficiency, can be graded on as trying their best.
*Propaganda: More than ever, indoctrination to a set of [[liberal]] beliefs can be administered on a national level. Topics such as [[global warming]], gay sex education, Islamic teaching can be pushed with federal mandates, without any parental control. A petition for minor changes will be a fruitless episode of preaching to bureaucrats for changes that may be tied up for years or disregarded entirely.
