Tell me what you think about this. Members of the US Census ‘Community Engagement Team’ are reaching out to parents of college students. Why? To tell them not to count their college-age kids at their home when they fill out the census just because they are home from school because of COVID-19.
It is a message that appeared on the neighbor-2-neighbor networking site Nextdoor.com.
The post has since been removed at Nextdoor.com link forwarded to me. I’m not sure why, but the YouTube link works (below). The video is basically the same spiel as the print copy.
So, questions?
There is plenty wrong here, but my biggest question is this. Why are colleges counting students for the US Census as residents of the town where they go to school?
Why is the Census asking parents whose kids live at home, as a legal residence, to not count them at that address?
If you got kicked out of school because of COVID-19 lockdowns and sent ‘Home” the place you got kicked out of (campus housing) is not where you live. That is not your legal address for anything, certainly not the US census.
But Colleges are working with the US Census to count them as living there, anyway?
WTF!! is going on with the 2020 Census?
