Gestapo building a database
I self identify as American. Period. I am not a Republican or a Democrat. I do have to register to vote as one in my State unfortunately but that is the only time I id as to politics.
This also shows the power of the Marxist Obama Regime and the left in general. Parents will think about how they answer these questions and what effect their answers will have on how their children are treated. How much does this intimidation affect everyday behavior and what adults say and do in the new Amerika.

Excellent response. Let all the staff and the school board publish their answers to the questions first. No doubt that would be a real education for the taxpayers.
Are you now or have you ever been a member of the republican party.
Coming soon from your child’s school.
They would get no answers from me.
Who is the "Center of Learning" at the bottom of the form?
A Soro's / Tides Foundation type or sub group?
How and why are they using their forms?
Good catch... I did less than 10 minutes of research and found this trail back to Soros:
The Learning Institute is a division of Social Studies School Service
The CEO of Social Studies School Service is David Weiner
David Weiner also participates in the Open Society Institute
The Open Society Institute provides "administrative, financial and technical support to the Soros foundations".
The government should guarantee the rights (under the Constitution of the United States) to EVERYONE.
I would ask for the school’s position or the diocese. Just recently 132 Catholic scholars took the step of sending a letter to ALL the bishops in the US re: their professional opinion of Common Core — they were very scathing in their condemnation of it.
Common core is one of those things that at first hearing sounds okay, i.e. have at least a benchmark for some minimal standards, but on close examination, it’s not really education, so much as teaching to the test and hitting the lowest common denominator skills. For example, a bus schedule rather than literature?! And it can easily become indoctrination ... 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.]
BUT here is a link to what the Catholic Scholars sent to the bishops.

Challenge ‘Common Core’ at Your Own Peril

Last Thursday in Towson, Maryland, concerned parent Robert Small was physically removed from a public forum for daring to interrupt Baltimore County Schools Superintendent Dallas Dance during the so-called “question-and-answer” portion of a school board meeting. Dance was only answering questions from parents previously submitted in writing. When Small stood up to tell the audience that he believed the introduction of the new Common Core curriculum would compromise education standards, he was approached by an off-duty police officer working as a security guard and forcibly removed from the auditorium. He was subsequently handcuffed, and charged with second-degree assault of a police officer. Though the charges have reportedly been dropped, the incident remains a shocking reminder of the oppressive nature of Common Core and the liberal educational establishment charged with enforcing it.
Here is a video of the incident. It clearly shows the security guard taking out a pair of handcuffs and flashing his badge before grabbing Small’s arm and dragging him towards the back of the room. As he is being taken out, Small says, “Don’t stand for this. You are sitting here like cattle. You have questions. [The panel members] don’t want to [answer questions] informally.”

The stupidest part of the test (among many stupid parts) is that the blanks are to be checked as L or C (Liberal vs. Conservative). The questions are Yes or NO questions. The answers cannot be L or C. That would be liking asking “What time is it, yes or no?”
