‘Invasive’ High School Survey Asks Students How Many Guns Their Families Have, Why They Have Guns
Daily Caller ^ | 9/30/15 | Emma Colton

Posted on 10/01/2015 4:39:18 AM PDT by Slings and Arrows

In a classroom exercise that has ignited outcry from the public, students at a Texas high school were given a questionnaire asking if their families owned guns, why their families owned guns and how their parents lean politically.

Called The Hawk 2015 Gun Survey, an estimated 100 students in a journalism class at Hendrickson High School in Pflugerville, Texas were given the survey in an attempt to start a dialogue on the Second Amendment. Instead, parents and Second Amendment activists across the country labeled the survey as “invasive.”

2 things here:

If you send your kid to public schools, you DESERVE this and everything else public schools do to your kids - don’t blame the schools, they are funded by THE GOVERNMENT, and they will answer only to THE GOVERNMENT. Sure you pay taxes, but the government writes the checks and will take your money at the point of a gun, if necessary. If you want to change the schools, you need to either change the government, or change the way schools are funded (as in vouchers). If you don’t believe me, watch a few videos on Common Core math, and you’ll quickly see who runs things.

Second, kids will always come in contact with prying adults that ask about guns and other internal family matters (like spanking) - if not teachers, then doctors (like my kids) or other social workers. It is critical that kids today be taught HOW TO LIE to these people, and understand that telling the truth may result in them getting new mommies and daddies, with their OEM parents winding up in jail. So any reasonable gun owner would have his kids TRAINED to simply answer that there are no guns in the house - that simple, regardless of whether that is truthful.

As to the political questions...you’re stuck there, since you can’t anticipate them, but then again, it was YOUR CHOICE to send your kid to that public school, so I don’t have much sympathy.

"It took a long time to collect up all the millions of firearms that were in private hands. The government created a whole new agency to see to it. There were rewards for turning your friends in, too. Drug dealers and murderers were set free after two or three years in prison, but possession of a gun would get you mandatory life behind bars with no parole. ...

It’s just one of the steps in getting kids to ‘rat out there parents, and then others-it’s is how the Hitler Youth got started. It’s to normalise being a busybody snitch and a government stooge.

This has to be a hoax. If a questionnaire were put forth in school asking how many homosexuals were in the family and what political affiliation they had, everyone involved with the questionnaire would be summarily terminated.

For each one of the choices that allow description (the “other” categories) I’d instruct me child to write in:

“Sniper assassination of Geo.III’s Redcoats”

Yes, but questions like that would be “intrusive” and “rayciss”, even though I’d say that taxpayers have more of a right to know where their tax dollars are going and to whom, and for what, than the leftist busybodies have in knowing whether the students’ parents exercise their Constitutional rights. Next they’ll be asking about the parents’ religion, and if they oppose sodomite mirage.

Unfortunately, not everyone has the means to send their kids to private school, or to home school them. And the schools aren't funded by the government, they are funded by us, the taxpayers. The government doesn't really "fund" anything - it just confiscates money from the citizens to do with it as it sees fit.

And they don't need this personal information to start a so-called “dialogue”, which will be nothing more than the kids being indoctrinated with nary a chance for input to make the other side of the argument, in which they have they Constitution and the Second Amendment on their side.

Historically demonstrable that ‘rat mentality is far more dangerous on a genocidal scale than guns in the hands of individuals.

And if little Johnny’s parents told him to take that gun survey form back to his teacher with the words “Go %%$# Yourselves You Commie P****s scrawled across it, he would return home from school and announce,

“Mom, Dad? Teacher told me to tell you that `your attitude is noted’ and that we will soon be receiving a home visit from Child Protective Services accompanied by a police escort.”

Yeah, just like that “conversation” on race which Holder always claimed Americans were too cowardly to have. He meant Americans were fed up with what is not a conversation, but a one-sided lecture, in which whites are supposed to just listen but keep quiet. No, we’re (white Ameicans) not too cowardly, they are, which is why they don’t want to give us the opportunity to bring up, crime statistics and other statistics which show blacks not in the light of patient enduring martyrs, but as the perpetrators of violent crime and rape upon whites out of proportion to their popularion share.

My brother and I lived in apartment community and moved from 2 one bedrooms into a small duplex together. While we were preparing to move there was a maintenance issue at his old apartment and the next time I went into the office they wanted to know why he had so many guns and if they were “registered.” Needless to say, we weren’t there much longer.

“Unfortunately, not everyone has the means to send their kids to private school, or to home school them.”

I hear you...and understand. Since I don’t know everyone’s personal situations, I will just make a general comment that many, perhaps most, people that send their kids to public schools could afford to not do that...if they were willing notch-down their lifestyle a bit. For example, in Houston, you still buy two bedroom, two bath condos in a nice area for less than $60k, which comes out to less than $800/month with fees, taxes, and mortgage.

Maybe not everywhere, but in Houston, there are options for most people to get off the paycheck to paycheck roller coaster.

that’s a good point. gather information about whose family is on the dole, with questions also asking why? are your mother and father both disabled? If not, then why aren’t they working?

Regarding sodomite mirage, I’m not convincd that so many people actively supported it, as were passive or apathetic in the face of it, and the SC and the activists relied on that lack of active opposition. Even California voted it down three times, but in the end, it didn’t matter, the activist judges on the SC were always going to find the “right” for sodomites to “marry”. So, thanks to the SC, Hussein can now go around saying things like “people’s religious rights don’t trump people’s ‘human right’ to love and marry whom they please”, or words to that effect, when what he is saying is azz-backwards, as the Constitution does enumerate an explicit right to religious freedom, but the SC had to turn to its usual “penumbras and emanations” to pretend to find a right for sodomites to “marry”, which is now trumping the explicit Constitutional right to religious freedom. Hissein could have spouted off from now till doomsady, if the SC hadn’t bent over backwards to give him what he wanted, and screw the Constitution.

I’ve been filling out doctors forms for the past month, and many of them ask the same type questions. I have them mail me the packets.

I don’t like what I see I cancel the appointment and request another doctor from the Primary. I can’t travel that far is a good excuse as any. Nor do I drive the express way my neck is severely damaged.

Or if I have to just LIE like a demonrat.
