This is why other countries are whipping our behinds on math and science objectives. They actually TEACH math and science.
We teach discord and conflict.
Pfh! Please, Unity and Blending Cultures won't teach the kiddy's who they should hate and what sect is "out to get them"
The information I would want to have would be navigational skills, whether any one of them had a gun or a knife or a piece of string even. I would probably be okay with the priest since whatever his wacky beliefs he could hear my confession and absolve me of sins as I lay dying of starvation. I wonder whether there was someone in a wheelchair who required a catheter. Toss him or her overboard. Generally a horrible assignment though. What age group?
No clowns on the lefeboat. They taste funny.
In that situation, I would be relatively indifferent to race, except that I would not go out of my way to save anyone who considered race important. A skinhead white supremacist and an Obama voter are precisely equal to each other in my mind, at the bottom of any list, and they are the direct opposite of decent hardworking people regardless of melanin concentration. As a parent watching my kids waste time on that nonsense, I would be rather annoyed. My kids did go to public school (and the younger ones still do), but my policy in these situations was to have a long talk about political correctness and reality. None of my kids came out of public school with even a hint of liberal mental illness, in part thanks to a proactive and engaged approach to these issues.
If there are any teachers on board throw them overboard first, they are useless.
All these “idiots for the cause” forget a historical fact.
When the Communists fully take over, the first to be herded and killed were all the teachers, lawyers, and government folks.
Not this tired “values clarification” exercise again!? Who ever designed this should be the first to die.
The unspoken rule is that those who make that decision already have reserved seats. You really want to teach a lesson, have the groups pick among themselves for those seats, Survivor style. Watch them bully, connive and backstab. See how they form alliances and treacherously renege on them, to defeat their peers one by one. See how the exercise changes when their own skins are on the line.
Moral to the lesson? Democracy is three wolves and a sheep voting over what's for lunch.
Who should survive? Why, those useful to the regime, of course!
The common core questionnaires and work shops are designed to identify and isolate individuals that require further indoctrination and to develop a group think that ostracizes anyone who will not embrace the marxist belief structure. Simple.
Throw the person overboard that knows these things.
This is absolutely evil. Children are being taught the idea that some people deserve to die because of their beliefs, and they are given a predictably stereotypical view of belief systems, and we KNOW which of those belief systems will render the person unworthy to live.
The little Red schoolhouse. Children are being indoctrinated in hate.
The teachers will be examining the students answers carefully for indications of racism, sexism, and homophobia. This is not an academic test, this is a psychological examination.

So it is “okay” to make judgment calls on whether or not to “save” an obese diabetic Jewish woman?
Obama’s death panels writ large.
In the old days, when there was valor, it would be “women and children first”.
But now your survival depends on your loyalty and usefulness to The Party.
I have always found these kinds of questionnaires offensive, and I refuse to go along with them. My stock answer is, “Throw overboard the person who devised this questionnaire.”
We had this this in second grade, in 1966. The choices had to do with occupations, though. Each kid had to justify why they should not be thrown overboard based on the value of their job.
