IL Common Core School Assignment Requires Parents to Self-Identify as Conservative or Liberal
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 12/4/2013

Posted on 12/04/2013 7:39:55 AM PST by markomalley

A recent Common Core assignment sent home from an Oak Forest, Illinois high school requires parents to self-identify as conservative or liberal.
The Illinois Review reported:

An assignment sent home from an Oak Forest, IL high school government class is raising eyebrows among parents who are shocked by the questionnaire they and their children are required to fill out. The questionnaire (below) has the parents identify their positions on a number of highly-charged issues, and then places them on a “political spectrum.”

The survey is part of Oak Forest High School’s Common Core curriculum, whichaccording to the school district’s website is to …”provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them.”
conservative or lib questionaire

Mussolini’s government school system used to send my mother home with the same kind of questionnaires.

I’d put ‘NOYDB’ on every single line.

Every parent in the system should put NOYB after every question. I know I would.

They are moving pretty quickly to identify who gets health care, and who gets the death panels, aren’t they?

Hopefully the parents are not brain dead. It’s no business of where on the political spectrum the parents are, unless you plan on punishing them or the children —oh like sending them to re-education camps. RISE UP PARENTS You don’t have to passively take this garbage from the Common Core Communists.

I guess then when I walked into the Principal’s Office and introduced myself as “Your Friendly Neighborhood Right-Wing Extremist” it just didn’t register...

Now Obama can go after opposition through their children. If Obama gets his zero to five preschool run by gvmt he can get a head start.

Decline to answer. Send letter about importanceof secret ballot, voting privacy, and encouraging students in how to think instead of what to think.

Simply write on the bottom.

"Due to the dumbing down of our nation's adults and children from John Dewey onward, through the assault on our national intellegence known as 'Public Education', and its further numbing and Communistic brainwashing of young minds referred to as 'Common Core', I am unable to intelligently respond to your silly questionnaire. So, I will simply respond in historical fashion, as one of your 'leaders' responded recently when facing questions they didn't care to answer.

"What difference does it make!?"
