Gov’t survey is asking your 12-year-old to share intimate details without your knowledge

Gov’t survey is asking your 12-year-old to share intimate details without your knowledge

It happens every two years. Inquiring minds, meaning in this case the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, want to know if your middle school-age child…

— has had oral or anal sex,
— has carried a weapon,
— has seriously considered suicide,
— has drunk alcohol,

and much, much more than total strangers have a right to know … especially with your prior consent.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

LifeSiteNews explains that the CDC’s “Youth Risk Behavior Survey” is administered by teachers in public middle schools and high schools during school hours.

The article includes some of the questions from the test, but the CDC is anything but secretive about the information it gathers, going so far as to publish the questionnaire online. The 2013 questionnaire, which seems far more benign in its scope than the one cited by LifeSiteNews (which include “Are you transgender?”), nevertheless asks:
