U.S. House of Representatives passes onerous HR5 — with Republicans’ support
July 11, 2015
Wednesday, July 8, 2015, despite many phone calls from citizens against the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, currently known as No Child Left Behind, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill which helps cement the Common Core, its assessments, and intrusive data-collection into place. Also a prominent feature of the bill is an emphasis on the social emotional aspect of students even though parents want more emphasis on academics.
The vote was 218-213. All 218 of the “yes” votes were cast by Republicans.

This means it is even more important than ever to stop the corresponding bill in the US Senate. Call your U.S. Senators, and tell them to vote “No” on the “Every Child Achieves Act,” S1177.
