‘Follow the money’: Self-described liberal educator tells ugly truth about Common Core

A former assistant principal spilled the truth about how the large and powerful lobbying group, Pearson, is making millions by authoring the standardized Common Core tests in Florida and across the nation.

According to The Blaze, Kathleen Jasper told Glenn Beck in a recent interview: 

“Pearson has a very large lobby, so they lobby our legislators to pass laws that make it so that more tests have to be generated,” Jasper explained. “The more tests that are generated, the more money they’re going to make.”
