Some new counselors have to collect data to file their multiple reports (every quarter) on how many times a year a first grader is told on school property that socialism is good and gay/lesbian/trans sex is good too and that illegal immigrants are people too that get a pass on breaking the law and your mommies and daddies have to pay for it all.
