I attended a presentation on how we can better communicators when discussing politics.  Any misinformation is the fault of the note taker.

• Those that want to slam conservatism will call us racists, bigoted for the rich at the expense of the poor and uneducated. They say we promote the war on women or that we are anti-environmentalist, and want to deprive poor of healthcare. They say we represent old rich white people who are intolerant and ignorant.
• We need to disrupt this schema by showing that the accusations do not fit. You do this by forcing people to think. They might believe that you are an exception if they know you personally. They may try to make the acquisitions fit a global group. Talking have a conversation with those that feel differently.
• You conversation must be genuine. Then easily examples of our actions and other conservative actions who help the poor, protect the environment, or nondiscriminatory. We do this by collecting people stories of experiences where they have preformed tasks that break the mold of labels given to conservatives. It’s important to include specific names and events that you can later reference.
• You share your concerns legitimately such as when you present a thought it might relate to your concerns of caring about the health care of the elderly.
• Connect with your community. Learn and listen with curiosity to others who have different opinions. Grass details of the other opinion. Don’t listen to create a rebuttal. Show restraint when conversing with a different opinion.

Problems of common core education:

• Its origins to not come from the states.
• One size is not fit all
• There was never a pilot or tested prior to implementation. Not internationally benchmarked. Test it is expensive.
• Not developed appropriately
• aligned curriculum skips the founding fathers
• It takes parents and school boards away from influencing the children’s education.

Do you have something to add? Please do so in the comment section of this blog.

Thanks.
