President Elect Trump's nomination for the Secretary of Education is Betsy Devos. She claims to be opposed to Common Core, but some organizations apparently don't believe it. That is the position of the group Stop Common Core in Michigan.
I tried finding some primary sources, actual articles that Devos might have written or speeches that she gave. I haven't been successful in finding any, even on her own webpage: http://betsydevos.com/
Exactly what are her objections to Common Core? Stop Common Core in Michigan advances some facts. And before any classical Lutheran educators start praising Donald Trump for opposing Common Core, it might be worth the effort to find out what it is about Common Core which Donald Trump opposes. The philosophy that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" is not always a wise one to pursue.
It will also be interesting to see where The LCMS education execs, The Lutheran Education Association (LEA), and the Concordia University system's professors stand on this now that the political winds seem to be blowing a different direction. Will it be any easier to find primary sources from them than it appears to be for Devos?
