Parents upset over game played at middle school

MARINETTE - Lori Saunier is one of nearly a dozen parents who have expressed their displeasure over a game played at Marinette Middle School.

“This kind of stuff, I mean, this can’t happen again. These are our little kids. We’re parents. We should’ve been protecting them. You should’ve gave us the benefit of the doubt of contacting us,” said Saunier, mother of 7th grade student.

On Wednesday, fifth through eighth grade students played the game called “Cross the Line”.

Parents say their children were asked personal questions like, do your parents drink and has anyone in your family been in jail?

Students were also asked to step forward if they answered yes to any of the questions.

Neither the school principal nor the district superintendent would answer questions on camera, but in a written statement, the principal said participation was not required and students could have said no.

However, parents claim their students told them that if they didn’t participate, they’d receive an in-school suspension.

One gets no argument from me. We took our last child out from public school. When we moved my child went to a new school. We went to open house and her teacher looked into my eyes and said said “Oh you are______’s parents. She is one of only six out of 30 second graders that can read.” We were warned and immediately put her in a Christian school in the neighborhood. She has now Graduated from a top notch Ivy League school with honors and is doing quite well in Noo Yawk!

Did the teachers participate or did they “opt” out? I’m sure there are plenty of teachers that have family skeletons to hide. Just another case of people in authority (government) saying do as I say, not as I do.

I thought it was going to be about the Knockout “game”.

Look at the “game.” It’s not about federal politics or any particular politicians. It’s very local, and the most influential local constituents—your neighbors—are in control. They’re also behind the pathological social pushes of the past few decades. Scattering families keeps those families from rising to compete in business.

My kids used to get “surveys” in high school that asked all sorts of personal questions. They told me they always put down crazy answers. LOL

"Removed by who?

Parents? they don’t control the schools any more.
"

A certain few of the most influential parents in the community do. I've known such parents.

Silly parent! They are not your children; they belong to the state.

This isn't a game, it is a fishing expedition for Social Services to follow up on.

The public schools have been doing this crap for decades, (Draw a map of your home showing the fire escape routes. Nice map of the house, kid.)

Only now, the map isn't just being nosy, it is the basis for a raid plan...

If the day isn't already here, it will be.

Let’s put the blame where it belongs here...with the parents. If you don’t like what government schools are doing, then quit sending your kids there. Are these people that stupid? Hey, how about leaving your kids with a creepy clown every and act all shocked when junior gets molested or dead. Kind of the same thing, just different degree.

All of the children’s responses were recorded, and are now safely stored at the local Democrat precinct office for future use.
