#CANiSEE ™© SOLUTIONS CONFERENCE – COUNTERING COMMON CORE – JUNE 20 – 21, 2014 – AUSTIN, TEXAS
http://www.educationviews.org/canisee-solutions-conference-countering-common-core/
Because the pro-Common Core National PTA planned to have its convention in Austin, Texas, a group of educators and parents decided to hold a counter event. It is called #CANiSEE ™© Solutions Conference and will be held in Austin on June 20 – 21, 2014 in the downtown area close to the convention center.
The #CANiSEE hashtag means:
#CanISee™© WHAT you are teaching my child?
#CANISEE™© HOW you are teaching my child?
#CANISEE™© WHO is financially benefiting from the curriculum on which my child’s teacher is being evaluated?

The Heritage Foundation is one #CANiSEE ™© Solutions Conference sponsor.
Lined up to speak are many of the nation’s best anti-Common Core voices to speak at our #CANiSEE ™© Solutions Conference, to speak at the same time as the National PTA is bringing #FedLedEd Secretary of Education Arne Duncan to town.

The #CANiSEE ™© Solutions Conference will be highly attended, videotaped, and shared widely across this nation through DVD’s, MP3’s, On Demand, and Pay-Per View.
“Arne Duncan does not own our children; we do; and we are not ready to surrender their hearts and souls to the dumbing down and indoctrination of #FedLedEd. We believe that with the ever-growing backlash all across the country against Common Core that our COUNTER EVENT will draw more interest from grassroots moms, pops, grandparents, and citizens than Arne Duncan can generate. Even people attending the PTA convention across the street may come to our event to find out what is really happening in our nation’s schools,” organizers wrote.
