And this affects YOU personally, in what way?????
You support other people's "delusions" all of the time. You tell people they look "great" when they look like they've been dragged through a knot hole backwards. You tell your kids "everything will be OK" when it won't, and all manner of other delusions.
Why does this ONE thing, a bridge too far?
And that's bullshit! From a 2014 article:
Just a few years ago, the Common Core state standards were quickly adopted by 45 states and D.C. Now, some states are opting out, and the initiative has come under intense fire from parents, educators, and politicians.

"Today, the Common Core is not only on the public radar, but the focus of a growing nationwide resistance from an unusual coalition of right-wingers, liberals, teachers, and parents, for a variety of very different reasons. The Tea Party, dubbing the standards as "Obamacore," paints them as an intolerable intrusion of the federal government into local control of schools. Parents sick of the testing culture are drawing a line with the new Core assessments, and some states are balking at the increased time and costs of these tests. Teachers' unions are split: Some local groups, including the Chicago Teachers Union and the New York State United Teachers, oppose the new standards entirely, while the two national unions — the
National Educators Association (NEA) and the
American Federation of Teachers (AFT) — support the Core but want delays in implementation."
