Education Secretary's statement about Common Core opponents sparks 'Moms Against Duncan'

Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, who is trying to sell America on Common Core educational standards, stepped in it recently when he claimed that opposition to Common Core is isolated to “white suburban moms” who are upset because their kids allegedly will perform poorly on the new tests.

Imagine the Oprah-rage if Arne Duncan had said black urban moms don't like Common Core because it shows their kids aren't brilliant.

Duncan’s ridiculous (on multiple levels) blanket statement sparked some fury, and “Moms Against Duncan” came to life:

So much for Duncan’s “white suburban moms” claim:

We’ll leave Secretary Duncan with a final question:

.@arneduncan What does Mrs. Duncan think about your stance against “White Suburban Moms?” http://t.co/nnat91MxpU
