"Louisville's Catholic schools will continue implementing elements of the Common Core education standards despite pushback from a group of Catholic scholars.

 The Common Core standards change what students learn in English and math and have been adopted by 45 states—Kentucky being the first. Last week, 130 Catholic scholars from around the country signed a letter claiming the standards do not adequately prepare students for college-level work and that they undermine Catholic education.

The letter sent to U.S. bishops requesting Catholic schools drop the Common Core standards or halt implementation.

But in Louisville it's already too late."

Commentary: As a normal Catholic School Student in the 11th grade, I don't really understand about what's so special about Common Core. Why do we need to implement it? Is CC really going to secularize Catholic Education for good? These two questions might be important enough to hang on for the future.
