Attorneys Needed for Recount Observation and Advocacy

From National Eagle Forum News & Notes:


ATTORNEYS NEEDED FOR WI RECOUNT! 


On April 20, Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser's opponent, JoAnne Kloppenburg, announced that she will seek a costly statewide recount despite the fact that she trails by an insurmountable 7,316 votes. Attorneys willing to volunteer their time to act as observers and advocates for Justice David Prosser at recount sites throughout Wisconsin should contact Andy Cook at 608-219-4632 or cook@hamilton-consulting.com. Recount could start as early as April 26.

DPI "Sex Survey" to be administered in West Bend School District

Parents in the West Bend School District (WBSD) were sent a letter advising them of the "Youth Risk Behavior Survey" that was to be administered to "selected" students.  The letter does not indicate the date the survey would be administered.  The letter does not state where the survey could be accessed and viewed.  Parents have been asked to make a decision about their child's participation in the survey based on the District's assurance in the letter that the survey would cause "little to no harm" to their child.  Students are considered "opted in" unless "opted out" as the District chose the "passive parental permission" form.

ACCESS:
Parents would only be able to have access to the survey by going in to the West Bend High School office on their own time and requesting to view it.  The 2009 version could be found on the DPI (Department of Public Instruction) website.  The District has since posted the 2011 survey for both middle and high schools on the WBSD website.

CONTENT:
The survey crosses personal and parental boundaries with questions that want to know:

If your child is bisexual, homosexual, heterosexual or "not sure." (on high school survey).
If your child has sex with males or females, or males and females.
If your child uses contraception when they have sex.
How many people your child has had sex with.
If your child drank or did drugs before having sex.

The survey explains that a child could become so depressed about the future that they may consider suicide, and goes on to query:

If your child has seriously attempted suicide.
If your child has made a plan to attempt suicide.
How many times your child attempted suicide in the past.

The survey is extensive and should be viewed by all parents throughout the state of Wisconsin whose children attend public schools.  Taxpayers have a vested interested in the administration of this survey, which is taken during classroom time, according to the parent letter.  The WB East High School principal has stated it will take a total of two hours for the classroom teacher to give this survey to students.

The middle school version can be found HERE.

The high school version can be found HERE.

April 2011 Phyllis Schlafly Report Available On Line

Contrary to Obama's political rhetoric, more taxpayer spending to send more students to college will not reduce unemployment or improve the economy. It's just Obama's way of finagling the unemployment statistics by listing young people as students instead of as unemployed.


A report by the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland confirmed that when it comes to long-term unemployment, the length of unemployment is unrelated to education level. Although employment is higher for people with more years of education, the duration of unemployment is the same for all education levels.

A new phrase is now commonly included in job ads for all kinds of positions: "must be currently employed." Charts from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show remarkably parallel lines for the duration of unemployment of Americans age 25 and older who have less than a high school diploma, only a high school diploma, some college, or a college degree.

The Obama Administration continues to propagate the falsehood that solving the unemployment problem requires "more investments in education." Investment is a favorite liberal code word for more spending and higher taxes.
As globalization spread and was touted by the elites as the wave of the future, conventional wisdom was that only blue-collar manufacturing jobs would be sent overseas while college grads were safe. That assumption is now obsolete, as computers and telecommunications have made it possible to offshore the jobs of college-educated employees.
