OPINION (CBN) – A controversial survey was given to students in Charlotte, North Carolina asking them to identify their gender and sexual orientation. WCNC-TV reports that Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) gave the survey to students starting in the fifth grade.
All students were asked to identify their gender but students starting in the sixth grade were questioned about being transgender and their gender orientation. The survey questions aim to get students “feedback on school climate, safety, behavior, harassment, and bullying.”
But many parents felt that the new questions were inappropriate to ask children. Maureen Henry wrote, “There is absolutely no reason for the school to be asking about children’s sexuality. It grossly oversteps the bounds of schools and is an utter invasion of privacy.”
Terri Major Flannagan commented she has “no trust in my child’s schooling anymore. I am advising my children that ANYTHING other than a scheduled test from their teacher that they may decline. And somehow I have to trust an 8 and 10-year-old understand this. Unbelievable.” FULL REPORT
