Gloria B.: This book has a lot of data in it and it's an excellent resource. It looks at our education system and acknowledges both the positive side and the negative. What works and what doesn't. It offers suggestions on ways to put our system back on top. It looks at teachers and the unions. Some might think it's anti-teacher, but it stresses the contributions of creative and dedicated teachers and the need to reward them and remove teachers who shouldn't be in a classroom. It also goes into the creation of Common Core. As I read it I realized its the same as Outcomes Based Education which was introduced about 20 years ago. The adoption of those standards has helped bring us to where we are now. I would recommend this book if you are looking to understand what's happening in our schools today and how you can help change things.

Greg McNeice: Glenn Beck does it again. Having left Fox and developed privately, the most advanced set of 21st century studios and a unique online TV broadcasting strategy, Beck hits it out of the park with this book. Page after page exposes the shocking facts behind Common Core. He reveals how America's educational system has fallen into the hands of bureaucrats, many of whom are products of the radical 60s. The idea of "one approach fits all" via standardized testing has led to corporate corruption aligned with the Department of Education, all at the expense of our most sacred resource - our children. And that is only the beginning, the author outlines the "data mining" and systematic intrusion of private family information through questionnaires associated with each student in K-12 and beyond. Parents need to read this book and instead of accepting what Beck exposes, they need to read the reference sources provided in the book for each fact revealed. Parents need to learn and understand that Common Core is "rotten to the core". They need to act before their children get brainwashed by the Common Core constituency.

Truth Seeker: If you love your country, your family, your children, your freedom and yourself, read this book. Glenn Beck has exposed a school curriculum so insidious that it will set the next generation of kids back so far that they will never catch up with the rest of the world. This system, once adopted nation-wide, will put our declining country into its final death throes. Who would have thought all those years ago that Khrushchev would be right when he said, “We will bury you.” This is our last chance to save our country from a total collapse.

The author states that “The dumbing down of America is good for one group and one group only; those who currently have all the power and control. By maintaining a failing system they are forcing a collapse that will have only one ‘savior’; the federal government. And they are ready to take full control of our hearts, our minds, our bodies, our very souls. To say that we need an educational revolution is an understatement.

“For all practical purposes,” the author says, “public education has been the exclusive realm of the teachers’ unions for the past five or six decades.” Now the education system is under the...

Neal A. Barncard: I have found all of Glenn's books to be informative and easy to understand. The foot notes make it clear that what are in these books is the "Agenda" of the Evil and Corrupt people that want Control of our lives and want us to Conform. Bill Gates and "BHO" are the kind of people that are the master mind's of these types of schemes. We need to know more of their plans....we can hear it in their own words from their mouth. Most, if not all can be found on "You Tube" or the "Blaze" so anyone can see them talking about it. You may not like Glenn Beck's books but no one can discredit them. I have "Amizon Prime" so get my books at my home quickly. Given a choice I will take the Truth....may we all learn to accept it and always choose Liberty and Freedom for everyone over Lies and Tyranny. I can see the next of the Books being called "Culture" The important part of any cultural system is of social control, or the design of various means by which members of society are encouraged/forced to conform to cultural norms. BHO and the likes of Bill Gates know this all to well.
