From Zone 5 candidate Tom Hearn's Facebook wall: "When I heard the paranoia last night at the school board meeting particularly from a couple of our trustees about Common Core, I couldn't help but hear this song from the 60's in my head (video of Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth"). This is a rare issue that I actually agree with State Superintendent Tom Luna about who is in support of Common Core and is not afraid of the big bad federal government on this issue."
Paranoia strikes deep Into your life it will creep It starts when you're always afraid You step out of line, the man come and take you away (full lyrics here)
Question: Are you afraid of the "big, bad federal government"?
