Soldier, 19, stabbed to death by Palestinian on bus in north

Victim of Afula attack suffered multiple wounds to the neck; passengers capture 16-year-old killer, who was in Israel illegally

An Israeli soldier died after he was stabbed multiple times in the neck Wednesday morning by a Palestinian youth on a bus at the central bus station in Afula.The soldier, 19-year-old Eden Atias of Nazareth Illit, was evacuated to the city’s Haemek Hospital. Doctors operated on him in an attempt to stabilize his condition but he succumbed to his injuries a few hours later.Passengers on the bus, which was en route from Nazareth Illit to Tel Aviv and had stopped at the Afula station, captured the stabber and turned him over to security guards, who in turn delivered him to police.“The bus stopped for a break and the few passengers had stepped out,” Yaffa Mara, who works in a candy store nearby, told Haaretz. “Only the terrorist and two soldiers stayed on board. Suddenly I saw one of the soldiers run out and she yelled that the other soldier had been stabbed. The terrorist tried to flee out the back door but border policemen caught and arrested him. The soldier was covered in blood. It was a terrible sight.”The suspect is a 16-year-old Palestinian resident of Jenin who did not have a permit to work or reside in Israel, according to police.Police’s Northern District Commander Roni Atti said “police had no specific alerts regarding the attack, though general warnings exist at all times. The terrorist boarded the bus and it is unclear whether he originally intended to commit the stabbing or if he was on his way to work. He eventually stabbed the soldier sitting beside him.”“We heard shouting in the bus, and screaming,” Tomer, a worker at a nearby kiosk who witnessed the attack, told Yedioth Ahronoth. “Soldiers then jumped [the attacker], I saw them take him off the bus and then security guards waited with him. He looked like a child.”Defense officials and analysts have warned in recent weeks that the West Bank may be heading for another violent uprising, citing a rise in the number of rock-throwing and Molotov cocktail attacks.On Monday, former Shin Bet chief Yuval Diskin said the Palestinians were ripe for a third intifada. However, Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon said that recent attacks were isolated incidents, insisting that “there is no sign of a popular uprising or so-called third intifada.”

Afula, located some 10 kilometers (6 miles) inside the Green Line in the Jezreel Valley, has been hit by multiple terror attacks over the years. In a 2001 shooting in the city’s central bus station, where Wednesday’s stabbing occurred, three people were killed and 18 were wounded.Last month, a Palestinian man pulled a knife on a public bus outside Jerusalem and threatened passengers before fleeing the scene.

New Iran sanctions will lead to war, White House warns

Administration ups efforts to prevent Congress from passing new penalties against Tehran that could put kibosh on nuclear deal

By Times of Israel staff and Rebecca Shimoni Stoil November 13, 2013, 4:33 am 35-The Times of Israel

The Obama administration Tuesday stepped up lobbying against congressional action for new sanctions on Iran, with the White House warning such a move would lead to war.“The American people justifiably and understandably prefer a peaceful solution that prevents Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, and this agreement, if it’s achieved, has the potential to do that,” White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters. “The alternative is military action.”Earlier in the day State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said John Kerry would use a closed door briefing with the Senate Banking Committee Wednesday to warn that passing new sanctions would be a “mistake.”The intensified effort to head off any new penalties against Iran come days after a meeting between Tehran and six world powers — the US, Britain, France, China, Russia and Germany — failed to produce a deal that would see eased sanctions in return for a promise to curb nuclear activity. Another meeting is scheduled for next week.US President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron spoke by phone Tuesday to discuss the Iran talks and affirm their support for continuing the diplomatic track.Carney told reporters that Americans did not want a “march to war,” which is what new sanctions would bring, indicating that lawmakers could pay politically if diplomacy with Iran failed.

Fresh from the nuclear talks, Kerry will defend the administration stance during a meeting with lawmakers Wednesday, where he will face a tough crowd.Senator Mark Kirk (R-Illinois) said Tuesday that the administration is boxing Americans into a lose-lose situation.“The American people should not be forced to choose between military action and a bad deal that accepts a nuclear Iran,” he said according to AFP.

In recent years, Congress has been fertile ground for tough sanctions against Tehran, with the latest such bill clearing the House of Representatives by a vote of 400 to 20. Even in cases in which the administration has demonstrated reluctance, members of both parties in Congress have enthusiastically voted in an increasingly stringent sanctions regime.Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) warned Sunday, as details of the talks filtered out of Geneva, against a situation in which “we seem to want the deal almost more than the Iranians. And you can’t want the deal more than the Iranians, especially when the Iranians are on the ropes.”Menendez suggested that any deal should include a cessation of enrichment and an increase in the transparency of Iran’s nuclear program. He also congratulated the French negotiators for taking a tough tone toward the Arak heavy water plant — noting that “its only purpose in a country with such large oil reserves is to make nuclear fuel for nuclear weapons.”Menendez, who has been a key supporter of previous Iran sanctions initiatives, announced during the interview on ABC’s “This Week” that the time had come for movement on Senate legislation to increase sanctions against Iran.“I think that the possibility of moving ahead with new sanctions, including wording it in such a way that if there is a deal that is acceptable that those sanctions could cease upon such a deal, is possible,” Menendez said. “I look forward to working with my colleagues in the Senate to move forward on a package that ultimately would send a very clear message where we intend to be if the Iranians don’t strike a deal and stop their nuclear weapons program,” he added.The Obama administration had asked, before the recent round of talks began, that the Senate delay action on sanctions to allow negotiations to take their course.In the wake of last week’s negotiations, there is now a three-way split in terms of priorities. In addition to the pro-sanctions and anti-sanctions camps, Sen. Robert Corker (R-TN), the ranking member on Menendez’s committee has a third direction — not to focus on pushing for harsher sanctions, but on preventing the administration from giving away too much.Asked over the weekend about sanctions, Corker was uncharacteristically noncommittal. “I don’t know,” he began, noting that “new sanctions would not kick in for several months” and emphasizing that “the administration has dialed back the rheostat since Rouhani’s election on the existing sanctions that we have. They have a lot of ability to waive and turn down and conduct these operations in lesser or stronger ways.”Rather than offer a strong voice for the new sanctions, Corker is instead pushing an idea that he hinted at last week — legislation that would block the president from using any of those waivers that he mentioned unless Iran meets a number of key conditions — all of which are more stringent than the reported terms of the agreement proposed in Geneva.

Netanyahu: Iran proposal ‘worse than a bad deal’

As PM demands that Washington keep up the economic pressure on Tehran, Kerry prepares to ward off new sanctions bills

By Stuart Winer and Adiv Sterman November 12, 2013, 10:56 pm-The Times of Israel

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday fired another volley in what has turned into an ongoing, very public war of words with the Obama administration, saying that from what he had seen of a proposed interim solution to the Iranian nuclear standoff, the terms would allow Tehran to advance toward an atomic weapons capability while throwing off the yoke of economic sanctions.“Israel prefers a diplomatic option to other options, but we demand a real diplomatic solution in order to dismantle the military nuclear capability of Iran,” Netanayahu said at an alternative energy conference in Tel Aviv. “The proposal on the table, which we have come to know in detail, is worse than a bad deal. It leaves Iran with nuclear capabilities for military purposes, and gives it significant relief in sanctions. An additional danger is that it gives legitimacy to Iran as a nuclear threshold state. This is against the interest of the international community.”US Secretary of State John Kerry has stated several times this week that Netanyahu’s acerbic criticism of the proposed deal with Iran, which fell through during nuclear talks over the weekend in Geneva, was premature, as the Israeli leader was unaware of the terms under discussion. Netanyahu’s reiteration Tuesday that Israel had “come to know in detail” the terms of the proposal appeared to come in response to Kerry’s accusations.One of the prime minister’s primary objections to the proposed deal was that it would provide sanctions relief to Tehran while allowing it to continue to enrich uranium, thus providing the economic solace, and the time, it needed to work toward a nuclear weapon. Iran insists its nuclear program is peaceful in nature.“Each passing day Iran is under increasing financial pressure,” said Netanyahu. ”There is no need to rush into a bad deal. We should use the time to obtain a good deal that halts the nuclear capabilities of Iran’s military. The deadline for achieving a deal like this one is the day when such an agreement is reached.”Kerry said Tuesday that he did not want Congress to approve any new sanctions on Iran while negotiations were ongoing. He was set to brief members of the Senate Banking Committee to that effect on Wednesday.State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said he would make clear to the senators that putting any new sanctions in place “would be a mistake.” As a senator, she said, Kerry had voted in favor of Iranian sanctions several times, but a vote for or against sanctions right now is really a “vote for or against diplomacy.”The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Aiming to calm critics, Netanyahu cancels massive settlement plan

PM says move for 20,000 units harms settlements and undermines efforts to stymie Iran’s nuclear ambitions; US wants answers; Palestinians threaten ‘end of peace process’

By Times of Israel staff and Adiv Sterman November 13, 2013, 12:25 am 17

“This step does not contribute to settlement. On the contrary, there is damage here for settlement,” Netanyahu told Housing and Construction Minister Uri Ariel, according to the Prime Minister’s Office. “This is a meaningless step – legally and in practice – and an action that creates an unnecessary confrontation with the international community at a time when we are making an effort to persuade elements in the international community to reach a better deal with Iran.”Earlier in the day, the Housing Ministry published tenders for the planning of some 20,000 settlement units — an unprecedented number — including 1,200 homes in the controversial E1 corridor linking Jerusalem with Ma’ale Adumim to the east, drawing harsh responses from the US and Palestinian Authority.Ariel accepted the request to cancel the plans, according to the statement from the PMO.Netanyahu indicated that his motivation for scrambling to have the plans undone was connected to his ongoing efforts to lobby the international community against making a deal with Iran to ease sanctions in return for curbing nuclear activity. Netanyahu has been harshly critical of efforts to reach a deal between Tehran and the West, calling a proposed agreement “bad and dangerous” over the weekend, and declaring Tuesday that it was “worse than bad.”“The attention of the international community must not be diverted from the main effort – preventing Iran from receiving an agreement that will allow it to continue its military nuclear program,” Netanyahu said late Tuesday, according to the PMO statement.In a rare public reprimand of Ariel, who comes from the nationalist Jewish Home party, Netanyahu said the move to push forward with the new units was made without prior coordination with the government, and implied it was not thought through.

The US had also said the announcement of the plans had caught it off guard.“We were surprised by these announcements, and are currently seeking further explanation from the government of Israel… Our position on settlements is quite clear — we do not accept the legitimacy of continued settlement activity,” State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki said.Saeb Erekat, the chief Palestinian negotiator, said he had called the United States, Russia, the European Union, the United Nations and the Arab League to voice his protest. “I informed them that if Israel implements this decision, then this means the end of the negotiations and the end of the peace process,” he said.Netanyahu earlier canceled the plan to publish tenders for the 1,2000 units in E1, a controversial strip of land which critics say would slice land the Palestinians want for a state in two.

Sources in the Prime Minister’s Office said building up E1 was “unwise” at the current juncture.The other tenders applied to settlements both inside and outside major settlement blocs. Those included Kokhav Ya’akov (5,000 units), Ma’aleh Adumim (2,000), Efrat (840), Tekoa (1,180), Shiloh (1,250), Gevaot (1,000) and others, Haaretz reported.Ariel defended his actions on Tuesday, saying that the publication of the tenders was a standard, purely procedural matter.“Plans for the construction of 600,000 housing units across the country are announced each year; it is a process that takes seven years,” a ministry spokesperson told Haaretz. ”This is not a marketing campaign for housing units, but the planning of an inventory. It may be used in the future and it may not, but there is no reason not to make plans.”On Thursday, US Secretary of State John Kerry launched an unusually bitter public attack on Israeli policies in the West Bank, and warned that if current peace talks fail, Israel could see a third intifada amid growing international isolation. He also said that calls for boycott, divestment and sanctions would increase in such a case.

Rice looted in Philippines amid aid shortage

By KRISTEN GELINEAU and JIM GOMEZ 2 hours ago-NOV 13,13-Yahoonews

TACLOBAN, Philippines (AP) — Thousands of people stormed a rice warehouse on an island devastated by Typhoon Haiyan, authorities said Wednesday, highlighting the urgent need to get water, food and medical supplies into an increasingly desperate region.Five days after one of the strongest tropical storms on record leveled tens of thousands of houses in the central Philippines, relief operations were only starting to pick up pace, with two more airports in the region reopening, allowing for more aid flights.But minimal food and water was reaching people in the devastated city of Tacloban, on Leyte island, which bore the brunt of the storm, and outlying regions due to a lack of trucks and blocked roads."There's a bit of a logjam to be absolutely honest getting stuff in here," said Sebastian Rhodes Stampa, from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs."You've had quite a lot of security coming in over the last couple of days, less so other things. So then it gets here and then we're going to have a real challenge with logistics in terms of getting things out of here, into town, out of town, into the other areas," he said from the airport in Tacloban."The reason for that essentially is that there are no trucks, the roads are all closed."In the first reported deaths as a result of looting, eight people were crushed to death Tuesday when a wall collapsed as they and thousands of others stormed a rice warehouse on Leyte Island, said National Food Authority spokesman Rex Estoperez.The looters in Alangalang municipality carted away up to 100,000 sacks of rice, he said.Since the storm, people have broken into homes, malls and garages, where they have stripped the shelves of food, water and other goods. Authorities have struggled to stop the looting. There have been unconfirmed reports of armed gangs involved in some instances.Police were working to keep order across the ravaged wasteland. An 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew was in place."We have restored order," said Carmelo Espina Valmoria, director of the Philippine National Police special action force. "There has been looting for the last three days, (but) the situation has stabilized."

U.S. Brig Gen. Paul Kennedy said that later Wednesday his troops would install equipment at Tacloban airport to allow planes to land at night. Tacloban, a city of 220,000, was almost completely destroyed in Friday's typhoon and has become the main relief hub."You are not just going to see Marines and a few planes and some helicopters," Kennedy said. "You will see the entire Pacific Command respond to this crisis."A Norwegian ship carrying supplies left from Manila, while an Australian air force transport plane took off from Canberra carrying a medical team. British and American navy vessels are also en route to the region.At the damaged airport in Tacloban, makeshift clinics have been set up and thousands of people were looking for a flight out. A doctor here said supplies of antibiotics and anesthetics arrived Tuesday for the first time."Until then, patients had to endure the pain," said Dr. Victoriano Sambale.

At least 580,000 people have been displaced by the disaster. In some places, tsunami-like storm surges swept up to one-kilometer (mile) inland, causing more destruction and loss of life. Most of the death and destruction appears concentrated on the islands of Samar and Leyte.The damaged infrastructure and bad communications links made a conclusive death toll difficult to estimate.The official toll from a national disaster agency rose to 2,275 on Wednesday. President Benigno Aquino III told CNN in a televised interview that the toll could be closer to 2,000 or 2,500, lower than an earlier estimate from two officials on the ground who said they feared as many as 10,000 might be dead."There is a huge amount that we need to do. We have not been able to get into the remote communities," U.N. humanitarian chief Valerie Amos said in Manila, launching an appeal for $301 million to help the more than 11 million people estimated to be affected by the storm."Even in Tacloban, because of the debris and the difficulties with logistics and so on, we have not been able to get in the level of supply that we would want to. We are going to do as much as we can to bring in more," she said. Her office said she planned to visit the city.Relief officials said comparing the pace of this operation to those in past disasters was difficult.In Indonesia's Aceh, the worst-hit region by the 2004 tsunami, relief hubs were easier to set up than in Tacloban. The main airport there was functioning 24 hours a day within a couple of days of the disaster. While devastation in much of the city of Banda Aceh was total, large inland parts of the city were undamaged, providing a base for aid operations and temporary accommodation for the homeless.____AP writers Oliver Teves, Chris Brummitt and Teresa Cerojano in Manila, Kristen Gelineau in Cebu and Edith M.

Putin in Seoul pushes new 'Silk Road' via North Korea

3 hours ago-NOV 13,13-yahoonews

The ambitious scheme envisages an "Iron Silk Road" uniting the rail networks of South and North Korea and connecting them to Europe via the Trans-Siberian Railway.But it faces huge political obstacles, given the volatility of inter-Korean relations and the international community's struggle to contain the North's nuclear ambitions through UN sanctions.Speaking to a South Korea-Russia business conference during his one-day visit, Putin acknowledged the difficulties but said they were outweighed by the project's potential advantages.
"I hope political problems will be solved at an early date, as South Korea, North Korea and Russia will reap great economic benefits when it's completed," Putin said, urging South Korean investors to come on board.
"This project, if accomplished, will help make a great contribution to the establishment of peace and stability on the Korean peninsula," he addedRussia took a first step in September, when it completed a 54-kilometre (33-mile) track from its southeast border town of Khasan to the North Korean port of Rajin.Located in the far northeast, where the borders of North Korea, Russia and China converge, Rajin offers a warm-water port for the North's two giant neighbours.Putin wants to see the rail link extended through North Korea, across the world's last Cold War frontier, and all the way down to the southern South Korean port of Busan.

Media reports say Russia is looking for South Korea to take a 34 percent share in the project, with Moscow holding 36 percent and Pyongyang 30 percent.Steelmaker Posco, train operator Korail and Hyundai Rotem have been suggested as possible members of a consortium to take on the South Korean share.Putin's visit saw the two sides sign a memorandum of understanding in support of the project, but Andrei Lankov, a Russian expert on North Korea who teaches at Seoul's Kookmin University, said he remained "very sceptical" about the entire undertaking."The idea itself makes perfect sense from a trade and economic viewpoint," Lankov told AFP."But this is clearly going to cost billions of dollars and what companies are going to risk that much investment with North Korea in the current climate?""I'm sure North Korea will be keen, because once it got started, it would provide Pyongyang with a new project to manipulate and use to pressure others," he added.Lankov said the same financial and political risks applied to plans to build a pipeline to supply both Koreas with Russian natural gas.Observers highlight the precedent of the Kaesong industrial zone jointly run by North and South Korea, which Pyongyang unilaterally shut down in April as military tensions surged.The zone reopened in September, but South Korean factory owners said they lost a small fortune during the five-month closure.Both the rail and gas projects were brought up in Putin's talks with South Korean President Park Geun-Hye.The two leaders also discussed North Korea's nuclear weapons programme amid signs that Pyongyang, despite UN sanctions, is moving ahead on all fronts to acquire a credible nuclear deterrent.Russia is a member of the stalled six-party talks on North Korea's nuclear programme, along with China, the United States, Japan and the two Koreas.China and North Korea have been pushing to get the dialogue back on track and Putin told a joint press conference with Park that Moscow also favoured an "early resumption" of the talks.Seoul and Washington insist Pyongyang must first show some genuine commitment to denuclearisation.

Raytheon, Lockheed consider fresh bid for Turkey missile defense

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. arms makers Raytheon Co and Lockheed Martin Corp are considering ways to sweeten their offer to build a Patriot missile defense system for Turkey after Ankara said it could still back away from a provisional $3.4 billion deal with China, sources familiar with the issue said on Tuesday.
"There are internal discussions going on about improving the Patriot offer," said one source, who is familiar with the talks but not authorized to speak publicly.A second source confirmed that preliminary discussions were under way within industry and the U.S. government about how the offer could be adjusted to be more competitive with bids submitted by the Chinese firm, and a European group.Both sources said no decisions had been made and it was important to allow Turkey - a member of NATO - time to make up its mind.
Turkey announced in September it had chosen China's FD-2000 long-range air and missile defense system against rival offers from Franco/Italian Eurosam SAMP/T and Raytheon.It said China offered the most competitive terms and would allow co-production in Turkey, but the decision caused alarm in NATO countries worried about China's growing clout.Secretary of State John Kerry and other U.S. government officials raised concerns after Ankara's choice of the missile defense system built by China Precision Machinery Import and Export Corp, a firm that is under U.S. sanctions for violating the Iran, North Korea and Syria Nonproliferation Act."We continue to convey our serious concerns about the Turkish government's contract discussions with a Chinese company - which is currently sanctioned by the United States - for an air and missile defense system that will not be inter-operable with NATO systems or collective defense capabilities," said one State Department official.State Department officials said Kerry had expressed his concerns to Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu in New York, and Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, who oversees European and Eurasian affairs, has discussed the issue with senior Turkish officials.Washington sees Turkey as a key partner in the Middle East, with common interests from energy security to counter-terrorism, but Ankara is not the deferential ally it once was as it seeks an increasingly independent role on the world stage.One of the sources said the U.S. companies were examining whether they could scale back their bid to bring it more in line with what was offered by the Chinese firm, which did not include the capability to target medium-range missiles.That may involve changes in the missiles that would be provided with the Patriot system.The companies are also reviewing the offset agreements and co-production deals involved in the U.S. bid, the sources said.Turkey was seeking some space launch capabilities, but it was unclear if U.S. officials would approve the export of such sensitive technologies as part of an offset package accompanying the missile defense deal, said one of the sources.The sources said the U.S. proposal was more comprehensive and offered Turkey greater capabilities than the Chinese system, as well as ongoing maintenance and technical support for the Patriot missile defense system. They said the offer also included substantial co-production arrangements."It's really not certain how it will work out," said one of the sources. "But there is a lot of interest in at least examining what could possibly be done."
F-35 FIGHTER
Sources familiar with the discussions have said the deal could affect Turkey's plans to buy radar-evading F-35 fighter jets built by Lockheed.
Turkey helped fund development of the F-35 and hopes its participation results in component orders for Turkish firms.
Pentagon officials have confirmed that the Defense Department's policy chief, James Miller, visited Turkey this month, but declined to give any details about his discussions with Turkish officials about the missile defense deal.
Turkish Defense Minister Ismet Yilmaz last week said Turkey has asked bidders for the missile defense system to extend the their bids and offer improved terms - in case talks with the Chinese firm failed.

Executives at Raytheon and Lockheed say they remain prepared to work with Turkey on the issue, but have declined comments on any specific efforts to revise their offer."We welcome the opportunity to continue discussions with the Turkish government for their critical missile defense needs," Lockheed spokesman Gordon Johndroe told Reuters in an email.(Reporting by Andrea Shalal-Esa; Editing by Tim Dobbyn)

German coalition talks split on EU referendums

Today @ 10:18-NOV 13,13-EUOBSERVER

By Valentina Pop

Berlin - A new bargaining chip has emerged in the ongoing German coalition talks: the idea of holding referendums on major EU decisions - be it bailouts, enlargement or more transfers of sovereignty to Brussels.The idea was formulated in a joint working paper drafted by Hans-Peter Friedrich, a member of Angela Merkel's Bavarian sister party (CSU) and currently the country's interior minister, and Thomas Oppermann, a member of the opposition Social Democrats (SPD).A grand coalition would be a unique opportunity for "modernising our democracy," they wrote.More referendums - which currently can be held only on constitutional matters or if the country's borders are changed - would give voters the chance to "influence political decisions also in-between elections," they added.In their leaked paper, the two politicians argue for a "careful transition to direct democracy," for instance when 1 million people gather signatures on a matter or if the parliament wants to consult the population on a specific law.The paper also argues that referendums should be held on EU matters of "great significance" - such as EU enlargement, transfer of powers to Brussels or another eurozone bailout.Merkel's Christian Democrat party (CDU) was quick to dismiss such wide-ranging plebiscites, saying there was a risk of them being hijacked by populist campaigns.
"There are still serious doubts about the introduction of referendums at national level," said Guenter Krings, the deputy leader of the CDU in the Bundestag.The chairman of the EU affairs committee in the parliament, Guenther Krichbaum, said such a change would bring about the "advent of populism" in Germany.The Social Democrats have also distanced themselves from referendums on EU matters.They say plebiscites should be held on internal matters and formulated in a way that would not give a platform for anti-European campaigns.
"One can leave out certain questions that touch on the core principles of the EU," said SPD secretary general Andrea Nahles.The issue will form part of coalition talks on Wednesday.The negotiations are expected to last at least until the end of the month, with a final round expected on 27-28 November. The new government should be in place by mid-December.

US Catholic scholars denounce Common Core as doing “a grave disservice to Catholic education”

US graduates

Over 130 scholars have added their signatures to a letter denouncing a document that tends to standardise study courses, doing “a grave disservice to Catholic education”

Marco Tosatti Rome More than 130 distinguished Catholic scholars have signed a letter denouncing the Common Core State Standards document, a U.S. education initiative that seeks to bring diverse state curricula into alignment with each other. The scholars claim the text does “a grave disservice to Catholic education.”One of the instigators of the letter sent to US bishops is Professor Gerard Bradley who teaches at the Notre Dame Law School. “We believe that implementing Common Core would be a grave disservice to Catholic education in America,” the letter reads. “In fact, we are convinced that Common Core is so deeply flawed that it should not be adopted by Catholic schools which have yet to approve it, and that those schools which have already endorsed it should seek an orderly withdrawal now.” The Common Core initiative was introduced in an attempt by the National Governors and the Council of Chief State School Officers to establish standardised educational criteria across all states in the Union. The Bill and Melinda Gates foundation provided most of the funding for Common Core pumping more than $160 million into the programme. The Obama administration is a big supporter of Common Core.Over the past 3 years, more than 100 Catholic dioceses decided to implement Common Core, along with 45 other States and the District of Columbia, including Washington. The letter calls the Core “a recipe for standardized workforce preparation” which “shortchanges the central goals of all sound education and surely those of Catholic education.” The programme reduces the study of “classic, narrative fiction” in favour of “informational texts”. This transforms “literacy” into a “critical” skill set, at the expense of sustained and heartfelt encounters with great works of literature. “Rather than explore the creativity of man, the great lessons of life, tragedy, love, good and evil, the rich textures of history that underlie great works of fiction and the tales of self-sacrifice and mercy in the works of the great writers that have shaped our cultural literacy over the centuries, Common Core reduces reading to a servile activity.”Signatories include Robert George of Princeton University, Anthony Esolen of Providence College, Scott Hahn of University of Steubenville, Patrick Deneen of the University of Notre Dame, David Schindler of the Catholic University of America, and Janet Smith of Sacred Heart Major Seminary. The letter’s authors complain that Common Core lacks America’s Catholic schools’ rich tradition of helping to form children’s hearts and minds. In that tradition, education brings children to the Word of God. It provides students with a sound foundation of knowledge and sharpens their faculties of reason. Education in this tradition forms men and women capable of discerning and pursuing their path in life and who stand ready to defend truth, their church, their families, and their country.”Sister John Mary Fleming, the executive director of the Secretariat of Catholic Education of the U.S. stated that Common Core should not be seen as a ceiling but as a floor, adding “we see the Common Core as a minimum, just as we’ve seen other state standards in the past as a minimum, and we intend to go way beyond that.” But the debate is very much open and heated, partly because only maths and English Common Core standards have been released for now. But standards in other areas will likely “promote the prevailing philosophical orthodoxies,” including a “materialist metaphysics” incompatible with Catholic spiritual values.
