Illinois High School Requires Parents To Self-Identify As Liberal or Conservative

OAK FOREST - 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."

I never said that can’t happen in America. I maintain that IF Americans, particularly conservative AMericans, stand up BEFORE this all crumbles away, THEN we can give our children something of value.

In the US we are less likely to ‘follow orders’ since that is not our nature. It just isn’t. Even in the Stanford guard prisoner experiment some people refused, others did not participate at all. The bigger concerns I have you simply didn’t address.

I am less concerned about those who follow orders than I am about conservatives who put their heads in the sand and refuse to fight back. All those preppers and others who will not vote unless the PERFECT candidate comes along and they hide out thinking that will protect them.

I look to men such as Boenhoffer for courage and inspiration. The fact is until we STAND with courage we will be in for a very dark slide
