Common Core response to one of our members from Don Gaetz; will vote FOR it


I also got the same response.   Gaetz is our head senator which means it would be political suicide to cross him (if the same game is still going on in Tallahassee).

Dear Mr. xxxxxxxxxx,
 
Thanks very much for writing me your thoughts regarding Senate Bill 878, sponsored by Senator Bill Galvano (R-Bradenton).
I greatly appreciate you taking time to share your views on this piece of legislation which would require performance accountability for public schools by improving and strengthening access to quality data.

As you may know, SB 878 does not change the current process regarding how the Department of Education provides data to researchers. It simply formalizes procedures for accessing and reporting data pursuant to the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. Before providing student data to researchers, DOE strips personally identifiable information from student data and assigns a random, annonymized ID to each student record.

On Wednesday, April 10, 2013, the Florida Senate passed SB 878, which I supported. From there, it was sent to the Florida House for a vote. However, on the floor of the House, the bill was amended and now it is currently waiting to be heard on the Senate floor.   As Senate President, I am only able to vote on legislation once a bill reaches the Senate floor. I will certainly keep your views in mind as this bill is read as amended on the floor for a vote.
 
Again, thanks for writing. Your comments, criticisms and suggestions make me a better Senator.

Respectfully,
Don Gaetz

Did anyone notice he has admitted they have been data mining our children right along and this move to common core only formalizes them invading children's privacy!  These folks are something else, aren't they?

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
