If this is true, I can't help but feel troubled. Check out the way the questions for this "quiz" were loaded:

I agree with the parent, that these questions are written in a way to suggest the Liberal thinking is the "nice guy" and Conservatives are the "bad guy". I also agree that these topics are a bit outside the critical thinking skills of an 11-12 year old child, which magnifies the wording of the questions as children are not going to want to be labelled as a "bad guy".
Another thing that bothered me, while not confirmed in this article, is the accusation of a private organization providing funding to a public school to conduct such a sneaky survey.
If teachers and staff cannot push religious agenda, then the same should go for political agenda as well. The whole thing stinks.
