Pupils Being Given 'Patriotism' Tests in Washington State Schools!?!

sure they wanna know what the kids are thinking, so they can file it for future reference, but i dont think thats the main purpose of the questionaire.
remember the old saying, "the acorn doesnt fall far from the tree."

Good thing I'm not their teacher. I'd flunk every kid who passed that fucking test for being devoid of independent creative thought.

We tried son, but the specialists tell us you just can't form a thought of your own...

We're going to pull the plug.

Please, forgive

That is absolutely disgusting... Although I'm pretty sure we're not the first nation to have Patriotism tests in schools. I mean Stalin and Hitler had to have had great success with it. I guess Bush figured he wouldn't do well in the history books as a hero, so he's walking down the path of villain (sp?). God bless amerika.


Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

Interesting that the format gave two choices, "agree" and "disagree." Yet next to each question was marked the initial "A" or "D", as if that were the "correct" response when the paper was "graded." So whether you agree or disagree is not what they are trying to discover--what they are really trying to do is tell you WHAT YOU SHOULD THINK. "You may disagree with this statement, but you SHOULD agree with it..."

I'd like to wring their necks, filthy propagandists. TEACH YOUR KIDS HOW TO THINK, NOT WHAT TO THINK!!!

Last year I walked into my kid's classroom early one day and they were going over the 'weekly reader'. It was telling the kids how to be 'good citizens'. That got my suspicions up and after a little googling I found out that the weekly reader all the public schoolkids read in class was bought out by a guy on the fucking trilateral commission! Yep. 'Tis true.

Wow this is almost as bad as the nice FBI man in a suit coming into my 4th grade class so we could practice some nice fingerpainting. I could never understand why he collected the samples from the class to take back to work with him.

He was such a nice FBI man though.
This was about 37 years ago in the DC area.



Buy some guns. You are gonna need em' folks.

They're giving these tests in order to weed out the good, totalitarian loving Bush/Hitler Youth from those evil, freedom loving, patriotic rabble rousers.

Today's Bush/Hitler Youth are tomorrows police state thugs in Darth Vader outfits serving the New World Order.

"Papa Stalin will give you a chocolate if you tell us what your mommy and daddy told you not to tell anyone..."

This reminds me of an English teacher I once had. When he wasn't working at school he was a police officer in his spare time.

He kept files on everyone in class and would give us strange essay assignments asking us how we felt about police checkpoints being installed everywhere.

Of course those who supported the checkpoints got high grades while those who didn't got marked down. I was one of the people who got marked down.

Of course anybody who worshipped the teacher and practically licked his totalitarian boots naturally got high grades.

Thanks!

nice post. Don't remember getting things like that back in my day. Is this part of a country wide psychiatric exam??? You bet your life.... did they have to turn in these tests to the teacher?

this test could easily be used to group your kid into a personality profile. The exam shows if she is a team player or individual thinker. It describes whether or not she is extroverted or introverted. It shows if she is intuitive or sensing/feeling or judging. Understand your kid's personality has just been tallied.

In my opinion, this is just as terrible as using DNA to group people's strengths and weaknesses.

I can understand a love of country, but I don't fathom love of government.

It's interesting to see how the test presents its questions.

Although it states clearly at the top that it's about "Politics, Patriotism and Protest", it asks for comments on statements rather than (say) presenting the student with a situation which demands a "patriotic" or "unpatriotic" response.

I wonder if it's an opinion poll or whether this data will be kept on file for each student?

JESUS Christos, dumbass.

It's a PINNED thread, HW could you nopt see it!?

It was pinned AFTER this thread appeared.

I think Average Joe has it pegged. It's not about the kids-or not entirely, anyway.

The Feds do a lot of seemingly innocent projects with multiple motives.
