FSCCC Responds to Factually Incorrect Legislative Letter from Fordham Institute

Dr. Effrem provided a detailed rebuttal to a letter sent to Representative Marlene O'Toole, chairwoman of the House Education Committee, from the Thomas B. Fordham Institute.  The Fordham Institute is, along with Jeb Bush's Foundation for Excellence in Education, one of the leading proponents of the flawed Common Core system in the nation. Dr. Effrem's letter refuted several contradictions and the ideas that there is no federal interference, that there is no indoctrination of students, and that Common Core standards are high quality.
