“I just had a friend let me know that Dr. John Buchanan, Superintendent of Petal School District, held a State of the District meeting this morning and announced that anyone who is against Common Core needed to come see him so he could help them find a job outside of the Petal School District,” Watson wrote earlier this week.
“Apparently, people against Common Core are not welcome in ‘his’ district. Teachers were then asked if they supported CC (and) were required to publicly say yes. So, support Common Core, or lose your job. Many have asked why teachers aren’t speaking out (against Common Core). This is Exhibit A,” the post read.
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson
"If people can’t trust not only the executive branch but also don’t trust Congress, and don’t trust federal judges, to make sure that we’re abiding by the Constitution with due process and rule of law, then we’re going to have some problems here." - Barack Obama, June 7, 2013
