A survey aimed at middle school children asks kids about gender identity, climate change anxiety and even suicidal thoughts — and warns parents to “not share the survey with anyone else.”
Thomas Blake Middle School in Massachusetts said the goal of the survey “is to improve student health and safety” and sent it to parents in advance, offering them the option to opt their child out. The questionnaire obtained by Defending Education asks middle schoolers about their sex and gender identity, giving them options like “non-binary, gender-queer, gender-fluid, gender non-conforming.”
It also blatantly asks “Are you transgender?”
“What sex were you assigned at birth, on your birth certificate?”; “Which of the following best describes your gender?”; “Some people describe themselves as transgender when their sex at birth does not match the way they think or feel about their gender”; and “Are you transgender?” the survey asks.
