Upcoming Common Core Events in California for November
and a Report of the Battle Fighting Common Core in California
As can be seen by the amazing events scheduled below, many people and groups are joining the battle to fight Common
Core in our State and they are helping each other - bringing in special guests and sharing them with other groups across
Southern and Northern California. Special thanks to Suzi Kahn and her group of Faithful Christian Servants who are
responsible for the Dr. Duke Pesta speaking engagements and also convincing their Orange County School Board to finally
allow them to have two different panel discussion “Putting Common Core on Trial.” Thanks to Gloria Pruyne and Jeanne
Goodin of Long Beach Eagle Forum and their group of speakers to so many of those school board meetings as well.
Thanks to Peggy Nichol and her sister Pat Bichnell for arranging the tour of Dr. Sandra Stotsky and Dr. James Milgram
in Northern California and Darcy Brandon then bringing them onto Southern California. Thanks to the many other groups
that have joined in hosting them.
Thanks to Darcy, Orlean, and Gloria for arranging conference calls on Monday nights so we can stay abreast and
connected with others across the state and nation fighting Common Core. We hear reports from leaders in California and
special guests from other states such as Jenni White, who led the battle to throw Common Core out of the State of
Oklahoma. If you would like to join those calls – email Darcy at [email protected] or Orlean at
[email protected] and they will add you to the list.
Thanks to many of you who have signed on to be the contact person for your school district by going to www.cuacc.org.
Thank to so many of you who have signed the petition on the website or have downloaded it and have gotten signatures.
There are presently 2330 signatures. More were turned into Assemblyman Tim Donnelly. Now that he is no longer going
to be a state legislator, I have asked Shannon Grove to be our Common Core chief warrior. She accepted and we will start
turning the petitions into her.
Thanks also to the many groups that have formed on face book to fight Common Core such as Democrats Against
Common Core, started by Sandra Smith and Californians Against Common Core started by Dominica Kristedja who has
helped so many others form a similar group for their county. Thanks to so many of you who have signed resolutions and
sent them to the state board, the governor and the superintendent trying to get them to say no to the new APUSH standards
and to put it on the agenda for their next board meeting. If you have not yet signed the resolution go to cuacc.org.
There are a few new events added to this list – especially notice the California State School board meeting in Sacramento
on Nov. 13-14. We hope many of you can come and speak out against Common Core and the new APUSH standards.
