Texas School Demands Students Submit Intrusive Census Form

An Infowars.com reader has sent an email with an attached scan of a “State of Texas Census Report” distributed to students.

The 7th grader who received the form was promised an “A” if he completed it. In addition, students were subjected to “a pep talk on how it is their duty as American Citizens to complete” the census form and submit to the school and presumably Texas authorities.

“Sound pretty nosy, doesn’t it?” a paragraph at the bottom of the form states. “But a census is very important. The information is used for all kinds of purposes, including setting budgets, zoning land, determining how many schools to build, and much more. The census helps Texas leaders plan for the future needs of its citizens. Hey, that’s you!”

The U.S. Census — to say nothing of school districts in Texas or anywhere else in the country — does not have constitutional authority to ask the sort of questions included in the form below. The Constitution calls for a simple enumeration every ten years in order to apportion the number of seats in the House of Representatives. Period.

[video on source site and youtube] “Unless a census taker can show me a constitutional requirement, the only information I plan to give are the number and names of the people in my household,” Walter E. Williams wrote in February. Williams quotes Thomas Jefferson: “Whensoever the General Government (Washington) assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force.”
The same applies to Texas or any other state that insists it has a right to be nosy, as the form below admits.
It is especially pernicious when the government attempts to brainwash children into the belief that the government has the authority to demand personal and private information from citizens.

Not only do parents need to tell the state to stop inculcating their children, they also need to if possible pull their children out of public schools that have become centers of indoctrination in worship of the state.

Schools Chief Ackerman Discloses New, Million-Dollar Security System at South Phila. H.S.

http://www.kyw1060.com/Cost-of-South-Philly-High-Cameras-Revealed/7013027

by KYW's Mike Dunn

A startling admission today from Philadelphia schools superintendent Arlene Ackerman: the district spent $1 million to install security cameras at South Philadelphia High School in the wake of racial violence there.

Ackerman was testifying before City Council on the district's $3-billion-plus budget when she was asked about changes at South Philly High in the aftermath of clashes between blacks and Asians there (see related stories).

School Reform Commission chair Robert Archie whispered to her to talk about cameras:

(Ackerman:) "We've put into place…"

(Archie, whispering): "…one million dollars' worth of cameras."

(Ackerman, to Council): "...one million dollars' worth of cameras. I was trying not to talk about that."

But with that out in the open, Ackerman went on to explain that a one-million-dollar security system had been installed in South Philly High, with cameras in every classroom and hallway.

Ackerman said there's no place that officials can't now see in that school, except for the restrooms.

School district officials later contacted KYW Newsradio to clarify that about $700,000 had been spent on the project rather than the full $1 million that was budgeted for it.

Obama Said to Be Open to New Miranda Look

WASHINGTON — David Axelrod, the top White House political adviser, said Monday that President Obama was amenable to Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr.’s call for a new law allowing interrogators to question terrorism suspects for lengthy periods without informing them of their rights.

In an interview on CNN, Mr. Axelrod said Mr. Obama was “open to looking at” changing the Miranda rule, which generally bans prosecutors from using as evidence statements made by suspects in custody before they have been warned that they have a right to remain silent and to consult a lawyer. “There may be some things that have to be done,” Mr. Axelrod said. “Certainly we’re willing to talk to Congress about that. But they would be in the area of adjustments, not a wholesale revision.”

Mr. Axlerod’s comments came a day after Mr. Holder called for Congress to enact legislation that would carve out a new exception to the Miranda rule. It comes from a landmark 1966 Supreme Court decision that is intended to ensure that confessions are not coerced, consistent with the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.

While it is virtually certain that the White House knew about and approved of Mr. Holder’s policy proposal before he made it on Sunday, the remarks by Mr. Axelrod provided a stronger public link between the idea, which has drawn fire from civil libertarian groups, and Mr. Obama himself.

Over the past year, Republicans have sharply criticized the Obama administration for treating some terrorism suspects — including United States citizens arrested on United States soil, like Faisal Shahzad, the man accused of attempting to detonate a car bomb in Times Square this month — as criminal defendants rather than as military detainees under wartime rules.

Conservatives have long disliked the Miranda ruling, and its use in terrorism cases has been especially controversial because of worries that the warning might interrupt the flow of an interrogation, prompting a suspect to stop providing information that could disrupt a future attack.
