CT “Asian Registry” mandate = invasion of privacy

Lin Yang, a Chinese-American from Woodbridge, CT, makes an excellent point:

CT government should not mandate that Asian-American students register their ancestral nation of origin or ethnic background.

It’s an invasion of privacy.

It’s a misuse of CT taxpayer dollars.

And as Lin noted, “I think it’s a very tough question for kids. Because my son and daughter were born here, there is never a second thought that Americais not their homeland.”

With this in mind, I hope you will join Lin and me in supporting a common sense measure to prohibit CT public schools from collecting this so-called “Asian Registry” information from students.
