Greg Gutfeld on Common Core: "That's not math — that's the plot of 'Silence of the Lambs'" [video]

Twitchy has been following Common Core for a long time, documenting stories like the child who correctly answered Common Core math problems but was called out by the teacher for not using “friendly” numbers. Thursday on “The Five,” Greg Gutfeld presented a video segment on Common Core math which tried to make sense of such things as “friendly numbers.”

Nice @greggutfeld — everything I've seen on #CommonCore is illogical like that. It's impossible for parents to work w/ kids now #thefive

@TheFive @greggutfeld The process makes me want to partner with moonshine, anchor to my couch and pass out…decomposing is just gross

@TheFive @greggutfeld Turning a simple addition problem into a multi-step problem would make it easier to solve? Who are these people?
