Public school students in Burlington, Massachusetts were recently given a survey to fill out and some parents are fuming because it included questions that are sexually explicit.
The survey was given to high school students and middle school students, some as young as 11 years old.
Parents are also mad because they were told that they could opt their children out of receiving the survey, but it was sent to all students.
The Boston Herald reported:
Massachusetts parents ‘livid’ after schools give survey on sexual activity, gender identity to students who opted out
Local parents who opted their kids out of a student survey about sexual activity and gender activity are “livid” after the district still gave the survey to them.
Burlington parents have now filed complaints with the U.S. Department of Education in the wake of survey-gate, claiming the district violated the “Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment” by giving the questionnaire to students against their parents’ wishes.
The controversial survey last month that was given to both middle and high school students in Burlington Public Schools had questions about: sexual intercourse, sexual orientation, gender identity, sexting, experiences with sexual assault, alcohol use, and more.
“Sexual intercourse includes vaginal sex which is when a penis goes inside of a vagina, oral sex which is contact between the mouth and genitals, anal sex which is when the penis goes inside an anus (butt), and use of toys or props (vaginal or anal). Have you ever had sexual intercourse?” reads one of the survey questions to the middle and high schoolers.
The topics would make an adult blush:
Parent David Hanafin is one of those parents. He wrote an email to district officials after his middle-school child was required to take the survey, even though he had opted out.
“Asking an 11-year-old kid questions about anal or oral sex is disgusting,” Hanafin wrote. “There is no benefit to this… I was assured that my kids were opted out of these exercises for good.”
Why does the school even need this information about their students? And how the heck do they expect an 11 year old to respond to such questions?
Burlington Massachusetts parents should keep an eye on their children’s homework surveys! https://t.co/mDrU3dkZcR

The parents have every right to be angry about this. Whoever approved this should be let go.
