Thomas said the survey was funded by a federal grant and administered by LUK Inc., a local social services agency -- in coordination with the Centers for Disease Control.

“I can take no responsibility for what’s on that survey,” Thomas said. “It’s not generated by the school system.”

Yeah, but she had no problem taking her 30 pieces of silver for handing the damnable thing out.
Fire her! Now!

Principal Fran Thomas told Fox News Radio that students were indeed given the survey – and admits it was graphic. But Thomas said the school has nothing to do with the content and they were required to administer the survey to fulfill a grant requirement.

“I can take no responsibility for what’s on that survey,” Thomas said. “It’s not generated by the school system.”

Here's an idea, DON'T TAKE THE GRANT if you don't like the terms.

If she wants to sell her own soul that is her decision, she DOES NOT have the right to destroy childhood innocence just to get some money.

” Whitehead said, “You’re talking about kids who probably don’t even know what oral sex is.”

I thought a certain ex-president took care of that mystery.....

Luckily, it wasn’t a grant to put a hidden camera in the girl’s locker room.

This isn’t “adult material”—it’s pervert material.

I think no survey can be administered to minors without the facility (school) authority and the approval of an Institutional Review Board for the protection of human subjects in research.

Someone signed off on the thing and has responsibility for permitting use of this instrument, with these children, in this school.

Big trouble here.

It’s not my job”. What an incompetent, buck-passing principal. Fire her. Sue her. Shun her. She is a child-abusing liberal punk.

It is said that "money is at the root of all evil". Not true.

But, in the case above, money is at the root of the evil. The grant was more important than propriety and the mental well-being of the students, and more important than the parents who needed to be informed before their children got to see the survey. The liberal school system is at the root of a lot of our problems.

“more important than the parents “

Parents? Do you mean the “non-government financial temporary custodians of minors”?

Didn’t the Democrats also make the case that oral sex wasn’t really sex? Was that before or after they insisted that most presidents commited adultry? At least the presidents they think of as the “good” presidents. ;-)

...they were required to administer the survey to fulfill a grant requirement.

A 'grant' from whom?.....................

[Eldon Tyrell]

ZERO TOLERANCE.

This is a school system/world that suspends boys for pictures of guns, a lighter in a lax bag, etc.

Chain of command need to be fired - and charged with child negligence and marked as sex offenders.

That will send a message to the next one.

Actually very few surveys can be administered without and IRB/Human subjects approval.

In most I have seen that were administered to school children, a form letter going to parents was included in the protocol.

My kids were in the MA schools about a decade ago. One of them came home and told of a drugs’n’sex survey. He said that just about none of his friends answered the questions honestly. To the question about sexual experience, one of the kids wrote in, “Do animals count?”.

It was an education for the kids in the untrustworthiness of bureaucratic authority; no information useful in policy creation or education was gained.

7th grade.... those kids probably know more about sex than their parents.

Awesome. It's been a million years since I've been in middle school, but this is exactly what my friends and I would have done as well.
