Survey Asks DCPS Middle Schoolers If They Are Transgender

How far is too far when it comes to asking the District’s public school students about sexual behavior? Is it acceptable to ask them if they can name the bodily fluids that transmit HIV? If they know how to put on a condom correctly? Whether they know how to “convince a reluctant partner to use barrier protection?” Where do you draw the line? That’s the question raised by this report in the Georgetown Dish, who discovered that a survey which was given to students at Hardy Middle School is asking some very frank questions about sexual acts and identity — ones that I’d be willing to bet many adults would blush at.
