The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The “For Parents” section notes that if parents don’t want their child to take the survey, all they have to do is sign and return the parental notification form so “the school will make sure that [the] child does not take the survey.”​

Could you link to the site you got this from? Copying chinks into google search doesn't bring it up. Looks like the parents can opt out.

From FB Oregonians for Oregon 10-29

Pretty sure the purpose of the survey is simply to identify kids who already have these feelings so they can be offered additional or targeted support to hopefully stop feeling ashamed or like something is wrong with them and trying or succeeding in killing themselves. No one is trying to turn your kids gay. And sorry but you can't turn your gay kids straight either. And if you think inclusivity or wokeness or the visibility of gays in media is to blame then how do you explain all the gay people who grew up in the 50's before all that existed? And of course you can't review their answers- the kids who are gay live in real fear that if you knew their secret you might not love them anymore. That's a terrible burden for a kid. Of course you COULD just tell your kid you would love and accept them even if they were gay. Then they would probably trust you enough to tell you themselves. Talk to your kids. And by talk I mean listen. And for gods sake let them cook. Unless they are being disrespectful shits. Ground those kids. Politeness is undervalued but is also a two-way street.

For those in the Rogue River school district you should know that these subjects are now part of your childs heath studies starting in kindergarten. You should also be aware that you will not be allowed to review your child's answers or obtain a copy. If your child decides they are the opposite sex or a furry the teachers are not allowed to discuss this issue with you without your child's consent. Don't worry they will be receiving mental healthcare at the new La Clinica, without your consent if they choose.(This last bit about La clinaca may be sarcasm)

If I were you, I'd ask Oregon. I'd also ask, if it isn't your state, why does it disturb you? It doesn't disturb me. Show me where the kid immediately goes into surgery based on how he answers, show me where he gets hormone treatment.
