About Karen Bracken
I was born in Philadelphia, PA and raised in New Jersey. I moved to Tennessee in 2011. I live in Polk County. I have 1 daughter and 4 grandchildren that live in New Jersey. I got involved with Common Core after reading an article about Bill Ayers and Bill Gates and their involvement in a new education program called Common Core. Up to this point I was swallowing the rhetoric being fed to us about Common Core. But the fact that Bill Gates and Bill Ayers were involved set off an alarm in my mind. So I started doing research on my own. It did not take me long to realize the true agenda behind Common Core. It is the same agenda that has been trying to infiltrate itself into education for many years.
I hope the information on this website helps in your journey to fight Common Core. Please visit our "Sister Site" tab for more resource groups.

I first began researching many issues regarding education in 2004 when our son was about to start school. The quest for further educational research heightened in 2008 when my Husband and I decided to homeschool our Son. During this time, I became aware of the UN's Rights of the Child Treaty which I found to be very alarming. This led to closer investigation of the UN in general which showed how education was part of their “global vision” and this put me on somewhat of a high alert basis with all things relating to the UN and education. I spent time messaging information about homeschooling issues as well as the UN Treaty and the Parental Rights initiative regarding this threat. One thing lead to another and in 2011 I starting speaking to groups about the overall state of our “government schools”. During 2011, I also became the TN State Coordinator for two national grassroots organizations, Tea For Education and Coalition For Educational Freedom, their missions were to educate the public and legislative bodies with information regarding school choice. During this time I was tipped off about the intentions of Race To The Top and through that my research started to lead me to Common Core Standards. There was a weaving of a pattern with many things I had previously researched starting to emerge and some of these findings started to alter my stance on things like school choice, vouchers, charters and many other initiatives I deemed good now suddenly started to take on a new perspective with the knowledge of the end game of our educational beauracracy. I ran for the TN House of Representatives in 2012, promising to stand watch and take bold strides towards parental and local control of education. While not winning that race, I feel like the minds of the American youth needs to be one of the most important issues addressed on all levels and I have made it my personal mission to speak out and share the information I have accumulated over the years on the subject. I see our youth facing a future so unlike anything we have ever experienced and it is an ugly forecast.
