Nearly 100 residents attended a meeting Monday in Gainesville with speakers against education standards that have been adopted by multiple states in the country, including Georgia. “Confronting the Common Core,” presented by Concerned Women for America of Georgia in partnership with the American Principles Project, portrayed the standards as academically weak while being invasive of student privacy. Common Core opponent Terrence Moore, a professor at Hillsdale College in Michigan, was one of the speakers, giving multiple examples of how he believes the standards are being used to address social issues, such as gay marriage or religion.
