Illinois high school requires parents to self-identify as liberal or conservative
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, which according 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."
UPDATE: The questions are from "The Center for Learning," which publishes the textbook "U.S. Government 2." The book's description says in Unit 1, it delves into general political philosophies, parties, and presidential elections. More about the Center and book HERE.
Sorry. I goofed on the cardinal rule of testing. I did not read the directions thoroughly.
” and if your school doesn’t do that, will it hurt your kid’s chances of getting into college of choice? [I tend to think not.]”
They’re in the process of rewriting the ACT and SAT to match the common core criteria.

More consolidation of Communist power.
