“Does your family own any guns?” asks a high school survey reportedly sent to 100 students. “If so, how many?”

The gun survey given to journalism students at Hendrickson High School in Pflugerville, Texas, also asks students for their parents’ political views.

“What are your parents’ political views?” the survey asks. “What are your political views?”

The survey is invasive, to say the least.

“[The Second Amendment] is a great conversation for kids to have in the classroom and definitely for journalism because it applies directly to our Constitution… but the questions that concern me are the ones that ask ‘how many firearms does your parents have at home?’ and ‘what political affiliations do your parents have?'” radio host and gun rights activist Michael Cargill said, who brought the survey to the public’s attention. “That’s private.”

And the survey can be used against the student and his family.

Interesting survey.
 
What concerns me isn't that schools continue to send crap like this home with students, since you basically now expect all public schools to be full blown retarded anyways. What concerns me more is the sheep/obey/comply/nitwits (and their offspring/lambs) who think this is "a good thing to be doing" and will fill out the survey and send it back....I thank GOD that my kids (and those of you who know them will agree that they would) would rip the thing to shreds and throw it in the trash before it ever made its way into our home. But my kids are definitely in the minority with their political and 2A views for their age groups, especially my youngest who looks forward to the day she turns 21 and is "allowed" to submit her LTC app. Most kids her age still think they're "doing something wrong" if they post a Pro2A blurb on Twitter/FB etc (and then end up getting flamed/ripped online by their "Guns are BAD" peers).

While I don't doubt that this sort of questionnaire was sent out, anything posted by info wars is suspect, since 95+% of what Alex publishes is shit.

While this is generally true, there is a Hendrickson High School in Pflugerville and their team mascot is the Hawk. Pflugerville is a northern suburb of Austin on the edge of Travis County. A lot of former Austin residents have moved there because the cost of housing n Austin is through the roof. Which means the Pflugerville is probably liberal, especially for Texas. Go a mile or two north or east and you are in Williamson County. Not liberal, not one bit.

Even with all that, I don't expect that this will go too far in Pflugerville. Which is fun to say, BTW. There's even a hot dog stand there called Pfreds Pfranks.
 
This is why I will be home schooling my children, schools and higher education are pumping out loads of BS to poison children and young adults mind's. When I was in college, I could not believe half the shit I was paying for that was being thrown out there as "fact" when in reality it was total BS.
 
almost time for the round up it seems and the the concentration camps. Isn't this similar to how Nazi Germany started????
 
I posted this years ago after Newtown, but the teacher in my kids Kindergarten class after the incident asked the kids who had guns at home via raising their hands. My daughter doesn't know I do, so I wasn't worried but it's no ones business in any event.

A co-worker who lives in Florida had a similar thing sent home from his son's elementary school this year. This co-worker was born and raised in Germany but is as staunchly libertarian as you can get, said he was sickened by the "new" socialist policies, so he left Germany. He has an attached garage that he converted to a gun room, so he has a "modest" collection (about 70 rifles, 30 shotguns and 100 or so hand guns, and a 37mm Hotchkiss gun, hence the need for the garage)

He broke out a red chisel tip magic marker, one of those that when you uncap it, people 2 rooms away get high from the fumes. He wrote "NOYMFGDBYFA" on the paper in as big letters as he could. (None Of Your Mother F-ing God Damn Business You Fascist A-Holes)

The school district asked for a meeting, he showed up and laughed in the face of the administrator when she said "this is for the children and their safety"

Fun times.

NIce. That's nunya turned up to 11.
 
Ya know, I don't know whether to be glad or not that I never had kids. All too much of this kind of crap just lights my fuse and I'd probably be the teachers' worst nightmare... but I'm not sure I want to have to spend all that time correcting the predigested PAP that the schools pour into kids' brains these days.

Well... Who knows. I might still find out what it's like some day.

If you ever do decide to have kids, believe me, they'll bring you more incredible joy and pride than literally anything else on God's earth. Challenges/frustrations/issues/etc etc to be sure, and maybe that worries some folks as they decide if it's "worth it" to have children, and that's understandable in a crazy, difficult and often messed up world.....
And all the negativity you have read or will read here (and in the media in general) can be intimidating, no doubt about it, but nothing - literally absolutely nothing - brings me greater peace than spending a minute, an hour (or a day) in the company of my daughters.

Nothing.

This times 1000. Today is my Daughter's 16th Birthday. Nothing better than her. Especially when she makes her teachers do the open mouth goldfish out of water thing when they bring up gun control and my daughter says something like "We should just make Murder illegal since laws fix everything" and they cannot argue with her logic...

My daughter was on a debate team that debated gun control in class. In Boston.

The crux of their argument was "More gun laws will not be effective because criminals break the laws anyway." The opponents tried the "If just one life," approach and got hammered. My daughter's team got an A and the opposing team a C. Be Prepared!
 
Might be nice to determine the purpose of this survey.

Who's asking the questions?

How is the resulting data to be used other than a raw numbers/opinion poll?

Will the results be published? Where?
 
and all answers are entered into the big database that common core creates on students and their families

Correct. Under Common Core, failing to answer, or answer "correctly," will reportedly be grounds for not "passing" the "test," in turn a prerequisite for government certification of the student's "college and career readiness." In other words, satisfactory answers on such tests will be required for graduation from high school, admission to college, and permission to have a job.

We had a gun-shaped pop tart this very morning but I finished eating it and it's gone now. Want to see it?

[emoji106] [emoji106] to your daughter and let me know when she announces for City Council... cuz there's definitely room for a sign on all my Dot & Southie friends and relatives lawns for a strong "Pro2A" candidate.

As far as I know the anti-gun people cannot get their hands on the names and addresses of gun owners and use it to make their google map propaganda stuff. But could this be way around the problem by circumventing the law and getting people to voluntarily or unwittingly give up this information? I am very reluctant to tell anyone about my LTC or what I have or where it is in the house for obvious reasons. I put a few stickers on my jeep like minuteman armory and goal and such, but otherwise I keep a very low profile.

I believe the 1919a4 and the MG42 on the front lawn may be giving away my position on the subject [smile]
