Heart Land Patriots schedule meeting

Heart Land Patriots news

The Van Wert County Heart Land Patriots will meet Tuesday, July 9, at 7 p.m., in the Youth Room of the Family Life Center at Trinity Friends Church, 605 N. Franklin St. in Van Wert.

The Patriots have scheduled two expert speakers who will address various aspects on Common Core, the federal educational curriculum proposed by the Obama Administration.

Secured for addressing the Patriots is Heidi Huber of the Cincinnati area, who is the founder of Ohioans Against Common Core, as well as a leader of the Southwestern Ohio Liberty group. Huber believes the future of the United States rests in reclaiming its children from the State, and reseating parental authority over children’s moral and academic education. Huber will share her vast knowledge of the development and implementation of Common Core in Ohio.

Potentially paired with her for Tuesday evening’s presentation is Joy Pullman, a research fellow of The Heartland Institute and managing editor of School Reform News. She is a much-published author in several national publications, and is the 2013 recipient of the 2013 Robert Novak journalism fellowship for in-depth reporting on Common Core national education standards.

Huber will present a well-documented PowerPoint presentation, while Pullman would present an eye-opening account of the data mining aspects included in Common Core. Parents, school board members, and public school teachers and administrators will find the evening’s program worthy of an investment of time during a busy summer schedule.
