Quote: Under Common Core, classics such as "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" are of no more academic value than the pages of the Federal Register or the Federal Reserve archives -- or a pro-Obamacare opinion essay in The New Yorker. Audio and video transcripts, along with "alternative literacies" that are more "relevant" to today's students (pop song lyrics, for example), are on par with Shakespeare.
Uh?
Since when is the Gettysburg address or Huckleberry Finn of any relevance in the Philippines? As far as deconstruction goes, this is a perfect example of cultural cross-breeding and ensuing relativism.
