Brody Petska, Mason Petska, and Dylan O'Neal were only in third grade in Camdenton, Missouri, when they first encountered Common Core, and immediately it was clear something had gone off in their education.

“When you’re 9 years old, well, we didn’t really understand ‘political indoctrination’ or anything. But they always talked about [how] in the new standards you‘d have to do this, we’d get in trouble for doing math our way, or get points deducted for doing any sort of assignment our way if it didn’t follow Common Core standards,” Brody said.
