I'm talking about people that want to teach creationism, and that's just bad. I mean, and the excuse or the justification is you don't want the government telling you what to do. What do you believe? Billions and billions of dollars have been spent by the federal government trying to implement common core across the country. Most of that goes to big textbook publishing companies. And those textbook publishing companies spend millions and millions of dollars on lobbyists to continue the gravy train. They say common core is about raising educational standards for children. But is it really about the kids? Project Beretta investigates. This is Diane Barrow. She has a high-ranking sales executive for Houghton Mifflin, one of America's largest school book publishers. Now reaping huge profits from the adoption of common core. Our journalists posed as political consultants interested in common core. Again, money. You seem like you're in it for the kids though. I mean, I don't think it is. I mean, it's a self-book. How do you even kid yourself for a hard hit? Diane has been selling books for years and used to work for what is now her chief competitor and the other giant in the school book publishing business. Pearson Education. The company has literally made billions of dollars off common core. And I've worked for Pearson. Oh yeah. Everybody's worked for Pearson. It owes the world. They just do underhanded things. It's all about the money. What are you crazy? It's all about the money. Like generally, and you know, it's not just Pearson but... The educational publishing companies are in it for education, do you? No. They're in it for the money. So... The fact that they have to align to educational standards is what they have to do to sell the books. Right. So it's really about the money, not really about the kids. Yes, thank you. Diane explained to our undercover journalists how the publishing companies look at common core. But didn't do the publishers lobby for those mandates to be put in place because their materials are... That's what their managers... No, maybe it's lobby for them to be put in place. But they lobby. Now they go after the money. They want to... You know, it's just like any business. If you're selling t-shirts, you want your t-shirts to fit everybody. Yeah. Right? That's why I'm asking that every time. So your t-shirt will fit him. This publishing executive is comparing our school textbooks to t-shirts. One size fits all. She's not entirely happy about it. It's just the way it is. In my opinion, education should have a bottom line. Seriously, it should not be... It's one place where really shouldn't be about the money. It really should be about the kids. And you hear about it, and it's all about the kids. It's not about the kids. It's not about the kids. As far as publishers are concerned. For us, anybody. You know, when everything is like, oh, you know, about the kids. Yeah. It's clear common core isn't really about education. It's about selling books. But... Do you see that more with the common core? You know, in our end, it seems like they're getting more pushing. But there's so much better on money and stuff. For publishers to really be in fact, they're being... Well, they can't sell anything unless it's aligned to the common core. Diane also had some strong opinions about things like homeschooling. She thinks the parents who homeschool are at best naive. And at worst, stupid. I guess homeschool parents don't buy enough of her company's textbooks. She is also no fan of Donald Trump. No surprise there either, as he is called common core, quote, a disaster. A disaster, unquote. Common core has to be ended. It's a disaster. It's a way of... He is listening to Donald's problem. Well, Diane Barrow is one of the hidden faces of Common Core. A publishing sales executive who says the whole thing is just about money. And then the top it off admits she hates kids. You seem like you're in it for the kids though. You seem like, you know, I mean, I don't know. It's all about the money. What are you crazy? It's all about the money. Again. Money. You seem like you're in it for the kids though. You seem like, you know, I mean, I don't think it is. Donald, this is so new to me. I, what I've seen is money between... So, the thing between the publishing companies, the common core publishing companies, and the schools, the shows, is that true? And the thing is, what they do is... They create a new fucking system that's fucking stock so more books. And then we have to learn something new, and the student that it's all shit. It's all about the money. What are you crazy? It's all about the money. You don't think that the educational publishing companies are in it for education, do you? No. They're in it for the money. So, the publishing companies are the winners in this game. Is that true? Is there money that goes in between? Yeah! Between the publishing companies and the schools? Oh my god! All the money being... Oh, I'm funny. You seem like you're in it for the kids though. You seem like, you know, I mean, I don't...
