Common Core's Data Mining Trojan Horse

"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.

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. 

Touting this centralized database system as a method to personalize student education is a naïve notion by the tech industry, which evidently thinks the massive problems of public education can be fixed with a bit of slick technical engineering.

Student data mining is merely the Trojan horse for a nationwide tracking system of our citizens.  Our children are being used as guinea pigs while those complicit with this Marxist government enjoy their new found riches.  "     [American Thinker]
