Questions for your kids
UPDATE:
The Senate Education Committee approved the bill along a party line vote. Democrats Teresa Ruiz, Shirley Turner and James Beach voted yes. Republicans Diane Allen and Michael Doherty voted no.
Your children and grandchildren will be asked the following questions in surveys taken at public schools, without parental consent, if a bill, S454, is passed by the legislature and signed by the Governor:
Are you bisexual, homosexual, heterosexual, or not sure?
Have you had sex with males or females, or males and females?
Do you use contraception when you have sex?
How many people have you had sex with?
Die you drink or do drugs before having sex?
The survey explains that a child could become so depressed about the future that they may consider suicide, and goes on to query:
Have you seriously attempted suicide?
Do you plan to attempt suicide?
How many times have you attempted suicide in the past?
A similar bill was killed in the State Assembly after a huge public outcry last June. Now its back, this time in the Senate.

These empty suits in Trenton couldn’t even find the gonads to Post a bill on gay marriage ,when it would be assured passage …but they want our kids to answer these kinds of questions !
Reading these questions—how ARROGANT—how presumptuous—how misguided, unfeeling, unintelligent, unintuitive—and uninformed! Whoever composed this thing are the so-called “experts” in our NJ educational system to whom we are entrusting our children’s formation and well-being??? These are hughly sensitive, complicated, confusing areas of human existence, and we’re going to allow these pinheads to do as they will, no mitigating input allowed???
Can anyone tell me how in ANY way that questionnaire is helpful/positive/beneficial to helping our kids process their innermost (often fleeting & confusing) thoughts and feelings???
That for starters. Then, along come members of the Educ. Comm., and with this action they further erode an already super-messed-up situation—-again: ARROGANCE (!)
Time to kill this bill.
Can folks here copy this questionnaire and show it to the parents you know? i cannot believe any parent would be happy to see the cavalier, casual, off-hand approach educators here choose in dealing with the horrible reality of our teen-age suicide rate.
“Yeah, Johnny, we know that kids normally feel like offing themselves – how many times have you thought of it?”
Talk about OUT OF TOUCH – gotta kill this thing, and it’s our voices that will do it.
