The man who played one of the Fratelli brothers in the kids’ cult classic “Goonies” has been on a Twitter rant against Common Core for the past two days.

“How screwy is this COMMON CORE MATH — it is confusing to adults - MIND NUMBING - TO KIDS,” Robert Davi, a father of five, tweeted Monday to his 320,000 followers.

The 60-year-old actor is soon to star in “The Expendables 3″ and is a frequent guest on Fox News’ “Red Eye,” Rare first reported.



Mr. Davi went on to say the country’s education system needs a total overhaul.

“The whole dehumanising COMMON CORE systemisation of AMERICAN EDUCATION is DANGEROUS - DETRIMENTAL & DELIBERATE - it will breed A NATION OF SHEEP,” he continued Tuesday.

“I cannot stress enough that RADICAL THINGS ARE BEING DONE IN OUR COUNTRY- COMMON CORE IS ONE OF THE MOST POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS,” he said.
