Upset father: ‘My son had no idea what any of this meant, but he knew that it was weird and sick and gross’
A 6th-grade student survey created by the Oregon Health Authority for asks participants, among other things, their “gender identity,” “sexual orientation,” and if they are “transgender.”
The first question under the “Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation” section offers choices such as “Demigirl/Demiboy,” “Genderfluid,” and “Agender”; the second includes “Pansexual,” “Asexual or Aromantic,” and “Something else that fits better (Please tell us more).”
“Demigirl/demiboy” is defined as someone who “partially identifies as a girl/boy or with femininity/masculinity, but not fully.” A “pansexual” is someone who “has the potential for emotional, romantic or sexual attraction to people of any gender though not necessarily simultaneously, in the same way or to the same degree [and] is sometimes used interchangeably with bisexual.”
Choices for the question about being transgender include “Yes,” “No,” “I am not sure,” and “I don’t know what this question is asking.”
Native Americans and Pacific Islanders get a few extra selections on two questions such as “Two Spirit,” “Fa’afafine” (Samoans assigned male at birth but “recognized as a third gender identity and live as women”), and “Takatapui” (a Māori “intimate companion of the same sex”).
The OHA surveys also are given to students in 8th and 11th grade.
Fox News notes father Chuck Gonzales was outraged that his 11 year-old son would be given such a questionnaire. Gonzales said he found out about it “somehow online,” and then couldn’t believe some of the questions.
“It is infuriating that the government, the state of Oregon, and these liberal progressives down in [the capital of] Salem can think that they can go into the bedrooms of our children and ask them about things they have no clue about,” Gonzales said. “My son had no idea what any of this meant, but he knew that it was weird and sick and gross.
“And of course, plenty of people thought that it was completely made up and ridiculous. But when it actually came out, when I posted the link and I had parents private messaging me to send them the link to the survey so they could opt out.”
According to the Oregon Health Authority website, while state law requires school districts to administer the survey, students can say “no thanks”: “Students may choose not to take the survey or may refuse to answer any question on the survey [and] a parent may also opt their student out of participating in the SHS,” the Student Health Survey FAQ reads.
Under the “For Students” section, the OHA reiterates students don’t have to participate but claims “it’s the only way we’ll know how students are doing physically, emotionally and socially.”
The “For Parents” section notes that if parents don’t want their child to take the survey, all they have to do is sign and return the parental notification form so “the school will make sure that [the] child does not take the survey.”
Why should students even bother with the survey in the first place? According to the OHA, it’s because “healthy kids learn better”:
“No curriculum is brilliant enough to compensate for a hungry stomach or a distracted mind. Good health is an essential educational tool. Research shows that healthy students have better attendance, get higher grades and test scores and are less likely to skip school, drop out, or engage in risky behaviors.”

Whoever prepared that Oregon questionnaire and whatever school boards, principals, and teachers who distributed that questionnaire to underage students should be charged as sex offenders and child abusers. They should be removed from any teaching or education related activities, and they all should have a restraining order requiring them to maintain a 200-yard distance from any school while it is in session.
These are wicked, perverted, and evil people. Any underaged children they have should be removed and place under the custody of non-progressive institutions for child care.
Instead, non-compliant institutions - namely religious - are the ones most at risk of legal fallout or punishment in these circumstances 🫤.
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! - Isaiah 5:20
A responsible parent would move heaven and the earth to get his kid in a Christian school or home school.
A New Model Bill Threatens Homeschool Freedom

(You can bet that some blue states and politicians are eager to make homeschooling outright illegal.)
These people should be barred from any interaction with children. Teachers’ licences restricted to over 18 year olds.
I remember my 8 th grade English teacher asking the class if they knew what their gender was. Mine was one of two hands raised. This was in Oregon, about 1974. I guess everyone knows about gender by...when?...3rd grade, now?
A responsible parent would move heaven and the earth to get the perverts who put this evil questionnaire together and administered it in prison!
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Big time.
Then how about serving edible food in school breakfast and lunch? Obama menus persist, and the food is so bad in my niece's Oregon school district that many kids will not eat it. Even if they will, the portions are very small.
Governor Kotek is the de facto superintendent of public schools in Oregon. This is on her.
I’ve got 4 kids and if any sick freak asked my kids that garbage they’d have me waiting in the parking lot for them. Not kidding.
Saves a lot of time and trouble.

Ben Shapiro did not believe that when they said they will groom your childre, they actually meant it.
That is one sick state.
Over 80 percent are in public schools. That's a lot of irresponsible parents. :(
