Common Core's Data Mining Trojan Horse

UPDATE:   Data Mining: Florida students leaving their privacy at the schoolhouse door

"Although high information Americans are becoming aware of the federal takeover of education through Common Core Standards, there seems to be little recognition yet that Common Core gives schools and third parties unprecedented access to students' personal information.  The federal government is acquiring a massive amount of data that can be sold to the highest bidders. This is an invasion of student and family privacy and a violation of our 4th Amendment rights.

The National Center for Education Statistics, which is part of the USDOE, helps states to identify and code the various types of information.


The range of data that can be collected includes hobbies, psychological evaluations, medical records, religious affiliation, political affiliation, family income, behavioral problems, disciplinary history, career goals, addresses, and bus stop times and locations. "     [American Thinker]
