Middle school asking children what goes on in their homes.

[aGameOfThrones]

Parents in Indiana are calling out a middle school for asking their children what goes on in their homes.

The survey asked students about their drug and alcohol use, but then the questions turned more personal.

Students at Noblesville West Middle School were asked to respond to the following statements:

"We argue about the same things in my family over and over."

“People in my family have serious arguments."

“People in my family often insult or yell at each other."

Michelle Bracewell, whose seventh-grade daughter took the survey, pushed back that those questions cross the line.

"If I want people to know about what's going on inside my home, I'll let them know," she said.

Officials counter that the survey is voluntary and used to identify risk factors in the home, as well as tailoring drug and alcohol awareness programs.

FOX 59 in Indianapolis reported more on this story:

“We ask these questions for purposes of public health,” said Ruth Gassman, Executive Director of the Indiana Prevention Resource Center.

[...]

But this year, in a pilot program, the IPRC asked students for their birthdate and initials, still optional, but parents claim that’s an invasion of privacy, too.

This is an invasion of Privacy, as the state will take away your children forever.

You don't own those kids.

We do.

Power Addicts. The only way these people in power can get their fix is by getting more and more power. Every excuse, especially children, creates rationalizations for the further restrictions of Freedom, until absolutely zero Freedom remains. We are well on our way to EVERYTHING being subject to the approval and permissions of the Controllers, and the State Schools will continue to extend their surveillance into approval and end in the coversion of Rights into Permissions and from Permissions into Denial of Thoughts and Actions.

The more they can know about an individual, the less they care about the Freedom of the individual, and the more they care about finding other "things" they can control.

And if it's because of this survey, those kids will feel guilt over it for their whole lives.

I don't know what it's going to take for parents to finally wake up and take their kids out of public schools. Those parents complain but they, like so many others, refuse to do what they should to do. They just keep sending them back.

Public school is child abuse.

Don't put your kids in government schools.

DON'T PUT YOUR KIDS IN GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS.

DON'T PUT YOUR KIDS IN GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS!


Any questions??





I'm going to start pushing his meme right alongside "Do Not Call the Cops!"

You guys know they are pushing mental health screenings at school now? So now even Johnny Does-Well can be diagnosed as depressed, or even borderline.

If I ever have I kid, God forbid, I would do everything I had to do to make sure he or she received and actual education--Homeschooling and good tutors. Then, I happen to believe that when you have a kid your life becomes immediately, if not permanently, superseded by theirs. There is no way in $#@!ing hell I'd raise my kid in a city. I know I'm off topic. But I am not surprised at this. Next thing you know the same will be done for adults justified by public safety/insurance.

As an aside: This is why I hate people, not violently though, that push for state administered publicly funded healthcare. Literally nothing is off limits when it comes to health. Smoking, eating, exercise, job danger (cops don't have to sweat this one), average air quality of zip code, genetic disposition to disease, familial history of the same. The list goes on, and on, and on. Every human behavior or activity that is even imaginable has an affect on the individual organisms health.

With those children, he thought, that wretched woman must lead a life of terror. Another year, two years, and they would be watching her night and day for symptoms of unorthodoxy. Nearly all children nowadays were horrible. What was worst of all was that by means of such organizations as the Spies they were systematically turned into ungovernable little savages, and yet this produced in them no tendency whatever to rebel against the discipline of the Party. On the contrary, they adored the Party and everything connected with it. The songs, the processions, the banners, the hiking, the drilling with dummy rifles, the yelling of slogans, the worship of Big Brother--it was all a sort of glorious game to them. All their ferocity was turned outwards, against the enemies of the State, against foreigners, traitors, saboteurs, thought-criminals. It was almost normal for people over thirty to be frightened of their own children. And with good reason, for hardly a week passed in which 'The Times' did not carry a paragraph describing how some eavesdropping little sneak--'child hero' was the phrase generally used--had overheard some compromising remark and denounced its parents to the Thought Police.
