Video- Nieves rips apart Common Core supporter

During his testimony before the Senate Education Committee, Michael Brickman, policy director of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute. said that Missouri standards were lower than most other states, something that is far from the truth. In the accompanying video, Sen. Brian Nieves tears apart Brickman, noting that his institute receives a considerable amount of money from the Gates Foundation (which is not unusual, the Gates Foundation is putting money into nearly every educational organization in a not-so-transparent effort to take control of education).
