Parents BLAST school board members after their children were exposed to a sexually explicit survey

Parents at Burlington Schools BLAST school board members after their children were exposed to a s*xually explicit survey which asked inappropriate questions about students’ s*xual experiences.

GROK:
The X post highlights a school committee meeting in Burlington, MA, where parents confronted the board over a sexually explicit survey given to middle schoolers, asking about sexual experiences, orientation, and gender identity, despite some parents opting out, violating the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA).

The survey, administered in March 2025, included questions like "Have you ever had sexual intercourse?"—defining it graphically—and was given to students as young as 11, sparking legal complaints to the U.S. Department of Education for breaching federal law on parental consent.

This incident reflects a broader tension in U.S. education, where a 2023 CDC report noted 30% of schools use Youth Risk Behavior Surveys to track student health.
