Sixth Graders Polled On Gay Marriage, Abortion And Gun Control

Story Leak – by Mikael Thalen 

Parents of a sixth grade student at the Milam Elementary School in Tupelo, Mississippi were shocked when their daughter brought home a political beliefs worksheet that teachers asked students to fill out.

The in-class assignment entitled “Are you a Democrat or Republican?” was posted to the “Stop Common Core in Mississippi” Facebook page with a message alleging that the young female student was told not to talk about or take the assignment outside of class, although some refuted the claim.

Regardless, the assignment, written for 11-year-old children, asks students what their beliefs were on such issues as abortion, gun control and gay marriage, before having them tally up their “D” and “R” answers to determine which establishment party they belonged to.

The worksheet, which has a clear bias towards more government control, goes on to frame such topics as healthcare as supporting care for everyone including the poor if your a Democrat, and essentially denying care to those who cannot afford it if you are a Republican. The paper gives no historical context of the incredible failures of government run healthcare, the millions currently losing their health insurance due to government intervention, or the government’s direct relation to dwindling quality, skyrocketing costs and loss of charity care as the push for government monopoly by both parties’ leadership continues.

The section regarding beliefs on military spending attempts to paint the Democratic party as more anti-war and pro-veteran with Republicans supporting more military intervention and bare minimum aid for those who served. Despite the so called anti-war left becoming nearly non-existent as President Obama expands his drone program and foreign entanglements, the reality of the Republican and Democrat leadership’s continued support of radical jihadists, while ignoring our veterans perils at home, is unsurprisingly absent.

Many parents not only found the assignment highly inappropriate, but question if the assignment was an attempt to gauge families’ political affiliations given the fact that many sixth graders would likely repeat what they heard at home, not having a true personal understanding of the listed topics. The assignment also clearly attempts to push children into the mindset that there are only two political parties and two mainline opinions to hold on any important topic.

Just last month, 12-year-old students in Colorado were given a similar assignment as well. A quiz entitled “Righty or Lefty?” had near-identical questions, clearly leading children towards the assumption that government is the answer to all issues facing the country.

In similar fashion, parents in Arkansas were shocked to learn that their sixth grade students were being asked to revise the “outdated” Bill of Rights after an assignment informed them that the U.S. government decided that it “may not remain in its current form any longer.”

Other outrages, such as fourth grade students in Illinois being forced to read a biography of the president that labels all white voters as inherently racist, have contributed to the rise in homeschooling as parents reject the MSNBC talking point that all children belong to the “collective” and not their parents.

  1. Seems to me that this poll/work sheet is to get into the kids heads to get an idea of the political party their parents support……..All the more reason to support home schooling.

  2. I sure wise that they would stop referring to the Government Indoctrination Centers as a school. They are training centers for the students to learn obedience to authoritarian slime! The tree of liberty need watering and it needs watering now! This government is only interested in one thing and it isn’t its citizens,its total control of those citizens. That is what DHS,cops and sheriffs are all about anymore because they march in lockstep with the tyrants because they see it as giving them more control too! Even the schools they build now look like prisons complete with lock down for the training process.

  3. After looking at the questions, the first thing I noticed is that they only ask kids’ their opinion on the issues that the media always relies upon for their distraction value, and there’s no hint of the Constitution being the final authority in any of them.

    I’m surprised the stupid little bastards can even read the thing, but the obvious goal of the test is to break people into two camps, and provide them with the illusion of choice.

  4. These questions appear to portray the two ‘parties’ as diametrically opposed. They also appear to be somewhat above a sixth grade level of comprehension.

    Pure communist bullsh#t.
