That people have some strong feelings about Common Core educational standards and testing is not news, but some school districts are openly defying parents’ who exercise their prerogative not to have their children tested. Cindy Stickline-Rose instructed her son Ben’s school not to subject him to the testing but they did it anyway. Michelle Malkin reported:
In Maryland, a mom of a 9-year-old special needs student is suing her Frederick County school district to assert her parental prerogative. Cindy Rose writes that her school district “says the law requires our children be tested, but could not point to a specific law or regulation” forcing her child to take Common Core-tied tests.

@TonyaTiffany @michellemalkin @DianeRavitch it was an unforgiveable violation of dignity and trust. How do I send my son back to school?

Frederick MD parents if your children go to @FCPSMaryland public school beware, they are doing things to our children without our permission

@CSRose1963 @FCPSMaryland CCSS tests are a total joke- esp. 4 special needs kids- why did u test Ben Rose against his parents wishes?

@FCPSMaryland Believes it dictates what happens to our children in the classroom. They violated Ben's rights pic.twitter.com/UcU4bzvgHb

Rose’s lawsuit has revealed that despite statements to the contrary, there is no documentation to prove any “local” involvement in developing the Common Core standards in Maryland.
.@WilliamJBennett on #CommonCore: Fed government is not dictating this. These standards were developed and are administered locally. #FNS

@FoxNewsSunday @WilliamJBennett not one teacher or educator from my state was involved. I have the PIA to prove it. Get out of parents way

@FoxNewsSunday @WilliamJBennett you were absolutely wrong about Common Core. Do some research instead of parroting talking points
