Census radio ad upsets student

Listening to the radio ad where a teacher and her students are looking for their classroom, only to find that it is a closet because people didn't fill out their census forms, is sickening. I would expect that kind of propaganda from government-controlled media in a dictatorship, not the United States.

Also, they are counting illegal aliens and the homeless but not someone who has paid taxes since high school, has lived in West Lafayette for five years, is a registered voter and even owns a house here. I never got a form. Schools (information only to be used by the Census Bureau yet local governments can use for schools?), aid, apportionment; how can the federal government make important decisions on such faulty data?
