Testing has become so prevalent for school students ever since No Child Left Behind was signed into law. Even though that law is gone and we now have the Every Student Succeeds Act, the testing remains. Pennsylvania has the PSSA test which are simply assessment test. They do not test the achievement of the student, but instead how well the school is at teaching to the test!! PA takes a whole month out of the year to subject 3-8 grade students to this test!
Action Alert – Thank Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos
The US Department of Education has clarified that they do not nterpret the word “sex” in Title IX as including “gender identity.” They have made it clear that they will not investigate bathroom complaints from students who identity as “transgender.” Thank Secretary of Education DeVos for this clarification.
Action Alert – Beware the Pennsylvania Youth Survey
Every two years the majority of schools in Pennsylvania administer the Pennsylvania Youth Survey (PAYS). It is an intrusive survey asking students about criminal acts, suicide, guns, alcohol and illegal drug use of not only the student, but the student’s family. There are also several questions about the student’s relationship with their mother and father, insults and arguments within the family, siblings’ alcohol and drug use, etc. Check out the questions and see if you want your child to participate!
Action Alert – See You at the Pole

Action Alert: Time to Opt Your Child Out of PSSAs
PA students in grades 3-8 will soon be required to take the PSSA tests to determine if the teacher has done a good job of “teaching to the test.” These tests are not achievement tests to determine what level of achievement your child has attained. However, there is a little known secret that parents can opt their child out of these tests!
Action Alert – Time to Opt Your Children Out of PSSA Tests
Soon your child will be tested to see how well the school is doing its job. That’s right, the PSSA tests do not tell you how well your child is doing compared to other students their age, instead it is used to determine how well your child’s teachers are doing their job.
Action Alert – April 15th Is Not Just For Taxes This Year
The purpose of the Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network’s Day of Silence is simply to indoctrinate impressionable students that ‘gay is okay.’ Of course, that’s not what they say! Instead they say, it’s a day of action by remaining silent to highlight the silence ‘gay,’ lesbian, bisexual and transgenders students are forced to live in everyday. In reality, it is the highjacking of a taxpayer-funded school day in order to promote the idea that homosexuality/bisexuality/transgenderism are normal. April 15th is not just a day for paying taxes this year, but a day for GLSEN to target our children.
