Ever wonder about your child's sexuality? Wonder no more!!!!!

Your tax dollars at work...

Metro TeenAIDS, a nonprofit aimed at educating children about HIV/AIDS, received a $15,000 consulting contract and $80,000 contract from DCPS in 2009 to provide programming in the schools, as well as over $750,000 in federal funding in recent years, according to FedSpending.org, a program of OMB Watch.

The program was not just for education, but for research. The letter notified parents that, by participating in the program, their child would be a “research subject” in a program funded by the federal government.

...But parents never received these warnings before the “sex test” was administered Tuesday at Hardy Middle School in Washington, DC. Only after parents demanded a meeting with Principal Dana Nerenberg and other officials were they given a copy of the actual test, two days after it was administered to 7th-graders.

Here's a sample:

Quote
“What is your gender?”
a) Male
b) Female
c) Transgender (M to F)
d) Transgender (F to M)

Twelve year-olds?!?!?!?

Yeah, it gets worse....check out the full test here.

Oh, yeah—It’s “totally anonymous,” they promise.  Promise!

Quote
Metro TeenAIDS’ letter to parents, which was distributed to the children during the class in which they took the sex survey, said that due to the sensitive and potentially incriminating information being gathered from the students, “The questionnaire is confidential—no one will be able to match your child with the answers that he/she provides.”

Yet, when a parent demanded that her child’s test form be returned, Metro TeenAIDS officials identified the correct child’s test and returned it to his parents…

What gets me is the comments:  many of which take the tack, “what’s the big deal?  I took the same test in the 80’s ... and I’m fine.”

So you’re OK with the idea that Teh Gubbmint is keeping personally traceable stats on your sex activity from age 11?  WTF is WRONG with these people?!?

What's to stop some smartass kid, upon reading the contents of the test, from putting another kid's name on it and filling it out with the 'gayest' answers possible? 

12 year olds taking a 'sex test'?  It's ridiculous and creepy!  :mental:

Yeah, integrity of the results is a huge issue with a test given to 12-year-olds (Even adults, but to a much lesser degree), and putting someone else's name on it is only one of the ways it can go awry.  A few plain old smartasses can render any test like this meaningless in no time.

Maybe I'm weird, but I'd really rather my 12 year old didn't have to answer 30 questions pertaining to (oral, anal or vaginal) sex.  I'd really sort of prefer my kid didn't know about (anal) sex, at least, at 12 years old.  I'm sure there are kids that know all about it, but I'm not at all sure that it's the school's business either way.  :(

I know this might be stupid to ask but, Who many 12 year olds would even know what have those questions mean?

A child is too young to know sexuality.

Can't you almost hear the information that will be passed from kid to kid when this test is over?  Obviously, we can be positive that 12 year olds will 1) know enough real information that all will actually understand all the issues or 2) our schools are run by people stupid enough to believe 1).   ::) ::)
