Keep parents in the dark so their children's minds can be sexually abused? I think the survey is tainted already.
I have a friend who was called up with a similar "survey", and there was another one on FR a few days ago in NH. This must be a concerted assault.
It's time for people who don't want the world to become the secular humanists' whorehouse to get riled up.
Student Sex Survey Rattles Officials
Fairfax Supervisors to Discuss Rephrasing on Wide-Ranging Form

Monday, January 20, 2003; Page B05How old were you when you first had sex? Did you drink alcohol beforehand? Have you ever had oral sex?
Those are some of the proposed questions on a survey to be given to thousands of Fairfax County students this spring, along with more than 100 other questions on drug use, suicide, weight loss and family relationships.
But some members of the county Board of Supervisors, which is paying for the survey, want to drop the section on sex, saying it could give teenagers ideas. Others want to rephrase those questions so they don't suggest that such behavior is all right. Continue
Most likely, there is a commercial enterprise in back of it.
The current "random drug testing" push is being directed by the Drug and Alcohol Testing Industry Association (see www.datia.org), a lobbying group whose sole purpose is to push drug testing of all kinds. Their approach starts with a 'survey,' which gets mailed off to a group that 'analyzes' the survey, and comes back with results that say "you have a real problem here, and something must be done!" -- the answer, of course is their product: random drug testing of students.
The drug testing companies are largely owned by the drug manufacturers (Roche, SmithKline, etc.) who could be setting these schools up for some kind of 'program' -- like getting the schools to pay for contraceptives, etc. (just guessing here, but it seems plausible).
Better get the parents organized and/or elect some new board members -- if the current board has allowed this to happen, they are much more likely to defend themselves than to listen to a few disgruntled parents.
