"National Catholic Education Association Gets Gates Foundation Grant to Promote ‘Common Core’ in Catholic Schools"

read all about it @ http://www.aleteia.org/en/education/article/national-catholic-education-association-gets-gates-foundation-grant-to-promote-common-core-in-catholic-schools-12054001



"The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation paid the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) more than $100,000 to support teacher training and materials on implementing the Common Core school standards, The Cardinal Newman Society has discovered.

The $100,007 grant made in September will only fuel division over the NCEA’s public encouragement for Catholic schools to adopt the Common Core standards, despite serious concerns about the standards’ academic quality and impact on schools’ Catholic identity."
