John Kasich
\nRolling Over for the Feds, Obama<\/strong><\/p>\n

On education, on child and family privacy, and on standing at the constitutional line against federal intrusion, Gov. John Kasich has a poor record. <\/p>\n

\u2022\tKasich is an unapologetic cheerleader for the low-quality, highly defective Common Core Standards pushed onto the states by President Obama. Among other defects:
\no\tCommon Core English standards dictate a severe reduction in classic literature in favor of dumbed-down \u201cinformational texts\u201d and even fail to provide for the teaching of cursive writing.
\no\tCommon Core math locks children into a slowed-down progression that, by 8th grade puts them over a year behind their peers in high-performing countries. Furthermore, it fails to prepare them for studies in science, technology, engineering and math, and fails to prepare them for admission to competitive public and private universities. <\/p>\n

\u2022\tKasich falsely argues that the Common Core Standards were \u201cwritten by local school districts,\u201d a statement that has been rightly criticized as incorrect.
\no\tThe official list of the Common Core Standards writers includes several testing company representatives and members of special interests groups. It does not, however, contain a single person from the state of Ohio.<\/p>\n

\u2022\tRather than discussing the substance of the Common Core, Kasich\u2019s response is to ridicule the large and active anti-Common Core grassroots operation in Ohio, even though only 26% of Ohio voters support Common Core. <\/p>\n

\u2022\tOn the issue of student privacy, Kasich has exploited, not protected, students and families in Ohio. He created a $250 million fund to provide grants to various educational groups for the creation of the Straight A Fund. Unfortunately, the 350 school districts participating in the program are required to share extensive amounts of personally identifiable data. The Data Sharing Agreement offers no safeguards stating, \u201c[the] School District may disclose Personally Identifiable Information from an Education Record of a student or parent without consent if the disclosure is to organizations conducting studies for, or on behalf of, educational agencies or institutions to improve instruction.\u201d <\/p>\n
