The Common Core for math just advances the curriculum forward by 0.5 years, and for any particular section, such as for some subject at some grade, the specification can be read in maybe 5-10 minutes. (I mention math specifically because it's recently been a topic of discussion with "non-racist math".)

Khan Academy, for example, conforms to the Common Core perfectly.

In the Age of Google, it shouldn't be hard to summon the relevant passages which are problematic so that everyone can discuss them. But the vagueness of critique is a tell that someone doesn't care to lead with detail.

This absolutely isn't true. Ask any parent whos children are doing common core math. It doesn't help much of the coursework and wording is nonsensical. A lot of it reminds of me communications we would get from our South Asian team at one of my old jobs.
