Canadian school board surveys students on sexual orientation
Mike Campbell
A Canadian school board is asking 11-year-old students to divulge their sexual orientation to school staff.
The Upper Grand District School Board in Guelph, Ontario, sent a survey to all students in the school district asking Grade 7 students and older to reveal their sexual orientation in a non-anonymized census.
DISGUSTING: Teachers in Canada are asking kids as young as 11 to divulge their sexual interests in a non-anonymous census. Read about it here, and sign the petition that we are sending to the school board. https://t.co/ohFRl74OT6

The potentially pre-pubescent students can choose between identifying as Straight, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Two-Spirit, Queer, Questioning, Asexual or Pansexual.
If the child’s sexual identity is not listed, the board requests children to detail and specify their sexual interests to school staff.
The survey also asks students about their “gender identity” while listing over nine categories.
