Kamloops parent says high school assignment used to push political views onto students

[Anonymous]

This country is becoming like Stalin's USSR and Goebbels Germany.



I never had kids, but I still can't wait to get out of this prognazi country.

Matt DeFouw says his son knows better than to text in class. But when a picture of a social studies worksheet popped up on his screen, the Kamloops father had to reply.



"Instantly, I was like, 'Wow, you have to bring that home,'" DeFouw said.



The purpose of the assignment was supposed to teach Grade 10 students at Valleyview Secondary School about the different views in partisan politics. Students were given a list of questions and were asked to answer either political left or right.



"Question No. 3 was, 'Which person is racist?'" DeFouw said. "The... correct answer was 'right-wing people.'"



Other descriptions tied to the right included: A person who believes that convicted murders should be hanged, that women should stay home and be mothers, and that Canada should restrict immigration.



DeFouw, who admits he is a right-wing conservative, said students should be taught that the political spectrum is much more complex.



"You have conservatives... being painted as misogynist, racist xenophobes who want to enact a brutal police state that hang people," he said.



The Kamloops-Thompson School District was alerted to a post that DeFouw put up on social media and has since spoken with the parent.



Assistant Supt. Bill Hamblett says the school district is investigating.



"It is an oversimplification of those very complex ideas, which we need to revisit with those students," said Hamblett.



Valleyview students told Global News they were uncomfortable with the questions on the worksheet.



"It's basically a teacher saying, 'This is my opinion -- learn it and it will be yours too,'" said one student.



"I feel giving us a worksheet like that, it's not really fair," said another.



DeFouw said that he does think the teacher needs to be disciplined but hopes this can become a teaching moment that creates a larger discussion.



As for his son's answers, DeFouw said it only made him proud.



"The one for, 'Who is a racist?' he just wrote racists."

It's funny, secular people think private Christian schools brainwash students..



My children's school encourages them to think independently unlike public schools that tell them what to think.

modern leftism is an ideological cancer and it is spreading throughout the west.  What's going in on the US, either is happening, or is going to happen, everywhere.  No western country is safe.

Congratulations son, you get an A+.



I was watching the news this morning and there school board agrees it is deceitful and indoctrination. The little mind warping test is  gone.



They were interviewing students who agreed the teacher had no right to impose his prog beliefs on anyone. They also said it was bullshit.
