Why Homeschool, Part 31

So your kids won't be given test like this one

Have you ever had oral sex? If you prefer not to answer that, I can certainly understand. How about having strangers as your kids that question (H/T: Creative Minority Report):

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.

The U.S. Dept. of Education. Why am I not surprised? I could fall over dead from NOT-SURPRISE! They don't employ a single teacher, but they do have guns and SWAT teams. And, it seems, perverts.

...“It goes down a whole list, including birth control pills, condoms and one of the answers is ‘withdraw,’” Whitehead said. “Adults know what this is, but kids have to imagine or go online to find out what it means.”

Principal Fran Thomas told Fox News Radio that students were indeed given the survey – and admits it was graphic. But Thomas said the school has nothing to do with the content and they were required to administer the survey to fulfill a grant requirement.

Congressman Joe Walsh, please take notice! Here's a good reason right here to de-fund the Department of Education. Their grants are dependent on gathering data like this from school kids?

“I can take no responsibility for what’s on that survey,” Thomas said. “It’s not generated by the school system.”

And clearly Principal Thomas should be fired if she thinks that the things that are done to the students under her care are not her responsibility.

But I won't be sending my kids to schools like this one.
