What’s your religion? Your sexual orientation? Your parents’ political affiliation? Should “assault rifles” be banned? Who’s to blame for the government shutdown?
Do these sound like questions that high school sophomores should have to answer?
A Maryland high school that is “Common Core” compliant — as described to TheBlaze by a representative — allegedly administered a survey to its sophomore class that pried for personal information in a way that was apparently so invasive and intrusive that two parents contacted TheBlaze to show it to us.
When TheBlaze asked the Montgomery County School District about the survey, at first officials denied its existence. When we presented parents’ claims that the survey was indeed posted on the school’s education web portal and that it was given to students without the ability to opt out, an official with the school district denied those claims too. However, in less than an hour, it was scrubbed from the Internet.
Eventually Dana Tofig, the school district’s public information officer, acknowledged the survey’s existence and confirmed that it had been removed. He did, however, insist that students weren’t required to take it and that it was actually a volunteer project put together by students, not teachers. Parents insist the survey was an assignment put together by teachers, but some student input was also allowed.

I questioned Worcester County School Superintendent about Common Core, and about the concerns about it, especially the information gathering aspect...he denied any information would be gathered...seems to think Common Core is such a good thing!
Most teachers are very left winged and they support anything obamie says.
Remember, I said most teachers , not all teachers. The ones that don't support the left will be gone soon , just like the military officers.
SO funny that the first tactic used was to deny the existence of any survey. That's insulting to the ethics and intelligence of the community and a good indication of how boards of ed. deny anything they want to hide from the public.
More corrupt than the NSA and Obama administration put together. What do these type of questions have to do with education? Only the socialist, communist, gun controlling left would want such information. We really need to get the back to the basics......remember that education and those morals that we use to live by and that got us to the pinnacle of world power, manufacturing, agriculture energy, math, nuclear power, medicine, etc. We need to regain our past and stop believing in worthless liberals in their quest for wonderland.
Johnny Freddy and Ronnie Willie are 100% for Common Core in Wicomico County.
