***What is your solution to not teaching sex ed?
How about at an appropriate age and curriculum, if at all. A ?survey? is not ?teaching? ? or, maybe it is. Sorta? introduces 11 years old to sex, condoms, oral sex, etc. by asking about their previous encounters. Is that appropriate ?education? for that age group? No.
I have an idea. How about we have the teacher stand up in front of the class and read the questions out loud to the students. Sure that would be fun for the uptight fundie teachers who can?t even say the word SEX much less teach anything useful about it.
BTW, Paul, did you read the article? You've commented on things before without reading, and simply from what your assume the article might say. Are you saying that you are in agreement with the way the SURVEY is being given, and that parents should not have access to the questions because they might 'misinterpret' them, while their 11 year old fully grasps the concept of oral sex?
Are you a parent?
***From what I hear you want to schools to not educate about sex, not to screen for mental illness, correct.
Yeh, Paul. And personally, I don?t want someone else teaching my kid ?their? values around sex.
Sorry your parents didn't take you for a genuinely voluntary mental health evaluation with the local shrink. That is not justification for the government to screen captive audiences. IT?S NOT THE GOVERNMENTS JOB. It was your parents job. Get some therapy. The government is NOT a parent.
***These tests are simply information to be used as the family wishes, not a branding on one's forhead.
Paul, you have stated more than once that you are not up on how the psych industry affects minors. Why don?t you refrain from commenting based on your assumptions and fantastical thinking. Educate yourself, so other?s don?t have to.
A psych dx can affect a child's life and choices for years to come. It is NOT simply information the parents can choose to use or toss. How naïve of you. Or are you being intentionally deceptive?
Read about these two little girls in Illinois. Tell me that?s voluntary.
http://www.ablechild.org/kauffman/ameri ... linois.htmMrs. Ayalla Kauffman, a mother of 8 came to Ablechild alleging that her two youngest children were taken by the State of Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) for what she was told by the DCFS Caseworker to be A 90 DAY MENTAL HEALTH EVALUATION/ SCREENING PERIOD for the girls. When the 90-Day period was up, the State of Illinois DCFS refused to release the two girls back into the care of their mother. Mrs. Kauffman has reported allegations that her two girls are being abused in State care. Mrs. Kauffman states that both her girls have been PHYSICALLY RESTRAINED numerous times to the point of obvious bruising on their bodies. In addition, Mrs. Kauffman has reported that her children are being ADMINISTERED UNAPPROVED AND DANGEROUS PSYCHIATRIC DRUGS WITHOUT HER CONSENT. Many of these drugs have been linked directly to suicide and violence, are unapproved for use in children, and have blackbox warnings on their labels. Mrs. Kauffman has reported that ANY CONTACT WITH HER CHILDREN HAS BEEN TERMINATED BY THE RESIDENTIAL CENTERS AND THE ?TREATING? PSYCHIATRISTS. This is being done EVEN THOUGH THE COURT HAS NOT TERMINATED MRS. KAUFFMAN?S VISITATION WITH HER CHILDREN.
