Some QUOTES from the film.


"We had to sign a confidentiality agreement, that we would not ever discuss what took place in the meeting itself; this of course is very different from all the other civic  committees I had even been in which were subjected to Sunshine Laws"


 Sandra Stotsky, Common Core Validation Committee


"Five our of thirty is a very large number, considering the fact that,, that... we were under enormous political pressure to actually sign on..... The five people who didn't agree to sign the letter simply were expunged from the record, and so, it was possible for people in the education world to say that everybody approved of core standards..... "  

          Jim Milgram, full Professor at Stanford for 45 years, 
(He was directly responsible for overseeing the Mathematical Core Standards.)
