Oregon father outraged after discovering 11-year-old son was slated to take survey about sexual orientation

An Oregon father is outraged after discovering that his -year-old son was slated to receive a state-issued sexual orientation and gender identity survey that sought children to identify their sexual orientation gender identity and whether they are transgender I was made aware of this survey somehow online Chuck Gonzales communicated Fox News Digital in an interview Tuesday whose son Maxwell attends Minter Bridge Elementary School in Hillsboro a suburb of Portland Oregon I might've got it through an email but it was a survey that is asking our children grades six eighth and eleventh grade issued by the Oregon Healthcare Authority Gonzales explained And the survey it asks a lot of really confusing things to sixth graders And one of those is it discusses and asks about their gender and sexual identity So when I heard about this I went to the website downloaded the PDF form and sure enough it was just right there SCHOOLING DEPT LAUNCHES ANALYSIS INTO SCHOOL DISTRICT ACCUSED OF FORCING EXPLICIT SURVEY ON STUDENTSThe Participant Soundness Survey petitioned questions such as What is your gender identity with the multiple choice answers being girl or woman boy or man demigirl demiboy nonbinary genderfluid genderqueer or questioning and agender no gender A demigirl demiboy according to gender terminology is defined as someone who partially identifies as a girl or woman and a demiboy is someone who partially identifies as a boy or man The demi prefix is meant to communicate the belief that gender is partial not whole and the other part of their gender identity can be anything including another gender genderless or a fluid gender Another question asks the novice if they are transgender with the answer options being Yes ' No I am not sure I don t know what this question is asking ' and I prefer not to answer It is infuriating that the ruling body the state of Oregon and these liberal progressives down in Salem can think that they can go into the bedrooms of our children and ask them about things they have no clue about Gonzales disclosed My son had no idea what any of this meant but he knew that it was weird and sick and gross HOUSE REPUBLICAN SAYS TEEN SON'S SCHOOL PROMOTES 'NON-MONOSEXUAL IDENTITIES' IN AM ANNOUNCEMENTS URGES ACTION An additional question sought students their sexual orientation and communicated them that they could choose more than one answer Answers to the question included straight lesbian gay bisexual pansexual asexual or aromantic queer questioning Something else fits better Please tell us more I am not sure of my sexual orientation I don t know what this question is asking and I prefer not to answer Gonzales declared he thought the greater part parents he spoke with had no idea the survey existed COLORADO PARENTS SAY SCHOOL SILENCED DAUGHTER AFTER TRANSGENDER ROOMING MATTER AS LEGAL FIGHT ESCALATES When I had heard of this survey none of the parents that I had spoken with or comments online had heard anything about it Gonzales commented And of unit plenty of people thought that it was thoroughly made up and ridiculous But when it definitely 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 He reported he believes the survey is a direct affront to parental rights They have no right to step on the values that we have as Christians he revealed They certainly have no right to step into whatever kind of sexual values that a child doesn't even have They're just they're projecting their own ideologies on our children So I mean yes it's infuriating as a Christian and as a Catholic but just exclusively as a parent and standing up for what is good based on what is clearly evil in this affair Gonzales encouraged other parents to get involved rather than stay silent Parents don't be afraid to go to your city council meetings to go to your school district meetings but also don't blow your gasket Gonzales declared The way that we are going to win is for us to stay in control of our own thoughts our own words and our own emotions SURVEY SCHOOL ADMINS DON'T WANT YOU TO SEE ASKS YOUNG CHILDREN ABOUT GENDER IDENTITY CIRCUMSTANCES CHANGE FEARS He also posted a video to Facebook showing his son reading portions of the survey and urging parents to act Parents wake up The state of Oregon is shoving invasive surveys at our -year-old sixth graders yes our KIDS asking they spill about their sexual orientation Gonzales explained in a up-to-date Facebook post What in God s name is happening he urged I m a dad who prays day and night over my kids souls I teach them right from wrong but now bureaucrats in Salem think they get a say Without one word to me This isn t instruction it s a sneaky end-run around us probing tender hearts before they re ready These kids are still trading Pok mon cards and scraping knees not dissecting their identities It s wrong Gonzales revealed in the post It s a violation And as a Catholic conservative I m done playing nice Our children aren t lab rats for specific progressive experiment They re gifts from God entrusted to us not the state This erodes everything our rights our faith their innocence Fellow parents rise up Call your reps Flood the schools Sign petitions Protect the little ones because if we don t who will HandsOffOurKids OregonParentsUnite CatholicMomFight ParentalRights Share if you re with me Let s pray and act Ave Maria In a report to Fox News Digital Beth Graser communications officer at Hillsboro School District noted Every parent guardian received advance information about this survey in two means through our ParentSquare communication system and via hard copy that was sent home with students The school received a signed opt-out form for this apprentice and they did not participate in the survey Fox News' Alba Cuebas-Fantauzzi contributed to this analysis
