MUST READ- Bizarre survey questions from Oregon Dept. of Fish and Wildlife

[ucwarden]

Check out the attached survey, about Oregon's marine areas.  Here are some examples of questions which actually appear in the ODFW survey, which was sent to the public in Oregon.  Pay attention to questions 34,35 & 36 on the attached survey, then someone can explain to me why on earth these questions were included in a survey about marine areas:

To what extent do you disagree or agree with each of the following statements?

God’s laws about abortion, pornography, or marriage must be strictly followed before it is too late.

Fox News, right-wing talk radio, or other conservative media outlets should be prohibited from broadcasting their hateful views.

Getting rid of inequality is more important than protecting the so-called “right” to free speech.

Is this real? Its hard to believe that this was really part of this survey. Could someone have modified this to stir up controversy?

Ya, beginning question #33 the rails get lost. Not super impressed with any of it, really. It feesl like one of those backdoor surveys from when I was in school where teacher's were trying to get dirt on our family.

Has this been sent out already?

Couple more from #35...

"Getting rid of inequality is more important than protecting the so called "right" to free speech...."
"I cannot imagine myself becoming friends with a political conservative..."
"I hate being around non-progressive people...
"Opposition to affirmative action is, by definition, racist..."

What a clown show if this is legit.

Nothing new, OSU, enough said!   IF you haven't been watching what teaches at university's these days, you'd understand!!

Wouldn't be surprised if WA university's haven't sent some trash out yet, besides what they already have!  Worked around a few of them!

It's real (I wouldn't post it unless I was sure).  I emailed ODFW and asked them to verify it is authentic and here is their response;

"Hello Todd,

My colleague forwarded me your email question regarding the recently mailed out Marine Areas Attitudes and Perceptions survey being conducted this year, by OSU and ODFW. The survey has been prompting some questions and concerns, particularly questions regarding the inclusion of certain survey questions (namely questions 35 and 36) and which portions of the survey pertain to ODFW’s evaluation of marine reserves and which are solely for academic research (and will not be included in ODFW’s analysis or reports). We have developed the attached FAQ to help answer questions about the current survey and provide additional sources of information. Please feel free to reach out if you have any follow up questions I can try to answer."

Someone should send it to Project Veritas as a news tip. Heck, they're doing an expose on Fox News Corp now.

This is crazy. Absolute clown world.
