School Surveys 7th-Graders on Oral Sex

[XDMAR]

A middle school in Massachusetts is under fire for requiring children to complete a graphic sex survey -- without parental knowledge or consent -- that included questions about sexual partners and oral sex.
The Rutherford Institute, a civil liberties organization, filed a complaint with the U.S. Dept. of Education against the Fitchburg School Committee. They are representing the two middle school-aged daughters of Arlene Tessitore.
Tessitore said her daughters, both students at Memorial Middle School, were told they had to complete a Youth Risk Behavior Study.
“Kids were actually told to sit down and take them,” said John Whitehead, president of The Rutherford Institute. “The parents here are very upset.”

So what was the question? If it was anything like risk "tests" I took in school it was something like:
"have you ever had oral sex?"
A. Yes
B. No

"have you ever used drugs?
A. Yes
B. No.

Have you ever stolen anything from a store?
A. Yes
B. No.

As for the word "graphic" I honestly font thing there were pictures.

Sounds like parents with their heads in the sand.
“One of the questions is, ‘have you ever had oral sex,’” Whitehead said. “You’re talking about kids who probably don’t even know what oral sex is.”

It also sounds like it was pretty graphic. One sentence mentioned "withdrawing". Pretty sure this wasn't revolving around an ATM.

I guess I am on both sides of the fence on this one. By 7th grade, if you don't think your children have heard of this stuff, your kids are too sheltered or you are too naive. On the other hand, it isn't the schools business either.

It's not the schools business!
