Missouri Chamber video omits debunking of Common Core supporter


This video was posted on YouTube by the Missouri Chamber of Commerce, which supports Common Core Standards. It includes a strong statement against the standards by Sen. Ed Emery, R-Lamar, and also includes a speech supporting the standards by Michael Brickman of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute. The Chamber conveniently leaves out the part where Sen. Brian Nieves points out the Institute's ties to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Missouri's current standards, contrary to what Brickman says, have always been considered some of the strongest in the nation.
