Common Core Sparks Controversy In Catholic Education.

Valerie Strauss writes at the Washington Post (9/21, Strauss) “Answer Sheet” blog that the national debate over the Common Core Standards in public schools has overshadowed a concurrent “argument among Catholics over whether the standards are appropriate for Catholic schools.” She writes that there are parallels between the two struggles, noting that some critics “say that Catholic schools that use the Core standards are at risk of losing their Catholic identity.” She continues to explore the views of various Catholic organizations.
