Stanford mathematician and former member of the Common Core Validation Committee, Dr. James Milgram, said that if the controversial standards are not repealed, America’s place as a competitor in the technology industry will ultimately be severely undermined. “In the future, if we want to work with the top level people, we’re going to have to go to China or Japan or Korea, and that’s the future we’re looking at,” Milgram said. School systems and parents must fight Common Core now.
