(AgapePress) - Parents in one Massachusetts town are expressing outrage over an explicit sex survey being administered to sixth-graders without disclosing the questions to moms and dads.

Parents in Shrewsbury are upset that the local school committee is refusing to reveal the content of its version of the Centers for Disease Control’s “Youth Risk Behavior Study.” The 22-page YRBS on the CDC website [PDF] contains 87 questions, seven of which deal with sexual behavior. The survey solicits answers to such questions as “How old were you when you had sexual intercourse for the first time?” and “The last time you had sexual intercourse, did you or your partner use a condom?”

The school committee in Shrewsbury will not allow parents to view copies of the survey because they feel parents will “misinterpret” the questions. However, parent David Fisher says unbelievably, there is no concern that sixth-graders will misinterpret the questions – and he contends the questions go even further.

“In the 6th grade – these are children 11 or 12 years old – they are being asked if they have ever engaged in oral sex, when was the first time that they engaged in oral sex, with how many different people have they engaged in oral sex,” Fisher says. “And they ask the same three questions about sexual intercourse, and whether or not they’ve used a condom, amongst other things.” A word search of the online version of the CDC survey, however, turns up no mention of oral sex.

Massachusetts - on a role. Boy, I sure would like to enroll my children in that fine public school system. :rolleyes:
 
It is incredible that parents (who help pay for those schools) are not even allowed to see the survey…
 
Sorry this country is so far to the left that public schooling is an oxy-moron. It is public brain washing and needs to be stopped.:banghead:

The saddest part is that even some of our “Catholic” schools do not support the POPE and what the Catholic Church truly teaches as truth:banghead: .

Home schooling “in my not so humble opinion” is the only way we can teach our values and educate our children as GOD directs.:gopray2: :gopray: :bible1:

You are a devout Catholic, and concerned about easy?? 😃

Hey, it is NOT easy. But the alternative??? :eek:
 
jlw,

The alternative is open more Opus Dei schools… 🙂

You are right, living a Catholic life is not easy.
 
Jesuit schools are good too; my brother just graduated from one and another is a junior. I went to a diocese-run Catholic school in junior high and they were good at teaching Catholic values there too.

There is a serious agenda going on over there:mad: See this thread:mad: forums.catholic-questions.org/showthread.php?t=55925&highlight=Massachusetts
 
Does anyone have anyway of knowing where else that horrible book might have been installed?
 
I took that test (or one similar to it) when I was in the 6th grade. A lot of the kids (especially the boys) lied when they took it.
 
This is the same district that had the “The Little Black Book” promoting gay sex at a middle school function. Anyone surprised?
 
With this kind of track record for “educational material” I would be very worried about what kind of “field trips” children in that school district would be taken on :bigyikes: .

I am totally confused…At what age does a person have the right to speak for themselves??? I mean if these kids went on a school trip they would have to have their parents permission, their parents have to sign their report cards, and the student can’t drop out of school until a certain age others wise the parents are held responsible…students can’t do anything without there parents permission…But so far the only exemption to these rules are when it has to do with SEX…The schools, governments and groups have no problem going up to childern and asking them these questions or letting them have abortions without their parents permission…Some childern are not mature enough to handle sex at this young age…that is up to the PARENT to decide since they know their child best.

What catholic parents need to do is support the catholic schools so they are not all closed eventually. If none are in your area go out of the area. I drove my son 24 miles to school and back every day for 4 years of high school. Our local high school refused to bus him while other public schools in the area bused their catholic students to the catholic high school. It was not cheap but we gave up restaurants and did inexpensive things so we could afford his education. Her just graduated from college last month. We are glad we did this.
