Alabama Middle Schoolers Asked About Sexual Orientation, Parent’s Political Beliefs
Seventh graders at Challenger Middle School were given a 48-question survey that quizzed students on their gender, sexual identity and whether they had considered “extreme body modification.”
Last Question:
‘Are your parents liberal or progressive in their political thought?’
‘yes,’
‘no’
‘neutral’
The school district apologized and said the survey was not part of any approved curriculum and was not vetted by district leadership.
“This afternoon, I learned that a survey had been used in your students’ class,’” Challenger Middle School Principal Bo Coln said in an email to the parents. “Unfortunately, the survey was not vetted or approved by our school leadership or the District’s leadership.”
