‘National Schools Survey’ Asks 14-Year-Old Boy If He’s Comfortable With His Gender

A mother has been left outraged after her 14-year-old son was questioned if he was ‘comfortable in his gender’ in a national schools survey. 

A British parent anonymously posted to Mumsnet that her teenage son had been asked to fill in an online form alongside his fellow students. 

She said the schoolboy had been asked about his sexual orientation and if he was ‘comfortable’ in his gender. 

Other questions included if pupils had any sexual experiences and if they had received or sent inappropriate pictures to others, she said.

It was claimed it came from the My Health, My School Survey, a nationally available questionnaire.

According to its website, these surveys are carried out on students from year three to year 11, with each question tailored to age suitability to ‘generate vital information on the health and well-being’ of students. 

Reflecting on the survey her son had been asked to complete, the mother wrote, ‘I understand some questions are safeguarding views. 

‘But b***** hell the sexual orientation etc why on earth is that relevant to my son’s schooling? 

She alleged that teachers at the school – who had not been identified – discouraged her son from ticking the ‘Prefer not to say’ option on the questionnaire.

‘I just feel his privacy has been really invaded and he doesn’t know himself whether he’s is straight/gay or whatever,’ she added.

The My Health, My School Survey has ten themes, each containing questions about gambling, drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and sexual health. 

Other survey topics include an ‘All About Me’ section and questions about diet, play, physical activity, mental health, and school. 

The separate pupil perception survey is also carried out for children over the age of 16 as well as those with special education needs. 

The survey is completely anonymous and it is not mandatory for pupils to fill out if they do not wish to. 

Lucy Marsh, from the Family Education Trust, told MailOnline: ‘Asking questions of a sexual nature to children in Year 9 and signposting them to sexual health providers like Brook is completely unacceptable.

‘This is a gross violation of privacy of both the child and their family.

‘Schools should not require children to complete surveys about their personal life and sexuality as this has no bearing on their education.

‘It is also inappropriate to obtain such information without permission from their parents.

‘Children under the age of 16 should not be exposed to explicit sexual language or encouraged to think that underage sexual activity is normal.’

It is understood that the survey is not a Department for Education survey. 

My Health, My School has been contacted by MailOnline.

This is wrong on every level, and we need to find out who approved this harmful poppycock. Someone must have signed it off – who are they, and what is their background and motivation?

It’s someone who doesn’t know about the basics of data gathering and statistical analysis. It’s not okay to throw an adult-styled questionnaire at a child and assume they’ll respond to the questions objectively and accurately because they won’t, and parents need to wake up fast as to what is happening to their children once they go through the school gate.

And why do these schools have such a fixation on pushing gender issues on young students? To allow youngsters to naturally mature into adults, these oddballs must be stopped.

This enables vulnerable children to believe that they’re not normal. The norms include a broad spectrum of interpretation – we are not all the same, and the vast preponderance of the population doesn’t understand the perfectly normal effects of the change of hormones during puberty, and feeling bewildered by puberty isn’t a definition of gender dysphoria.

Our government have taken a generation of children and both the Tories and now Labour seem to want to teach our children what they want, not what kids need, and children that are broken by this will be easy to manipulate by voting age.

When George Orwell penned ‘1984’ it was just a book – now it’s here and very real!

However, everyone is now so preoccupied with being amused by technology that they have lost sight of their humanity and are allowing their surroundings to burn down around them. To examine what happens when people concentrate on living life rather than existing, perhaps we should turn off the internet for one week each month.

Children don’t fully comprehend the consequences of giving this information, and they have no idea what will happen to the data that is being gathered, therefore isn’t this a safeguarding issue? They also have no idea who will have access to the data, how it will be utilised, or whether it is secure.

These individuals have no business questioning kids about their lives in this manner; they are not medical professionals, and it is a blatant betrayal of school trust.

We are now a grooming state. It doesn’t matter how you look at it. It’s morally wrong and morally incorrect.

My vision on life is pretty broad, therefore I like to address specific subjects that intrigue me. Therefore I really appreciate the world of politics, though I have no actual views on who I will vote for, that I will not tell you, so please do not ask! I am like an observation station when it comes to writing, and I simply take the news and make it my own. I have no expectations, I simply love to write, and I know this seems really odd, but I don't get paid for it, I really like what I do and since I am never under any pressure, I constantly find that I write much better, rather than being blanketed under masses of paperwork and articles that I am on a deadline to complete. The chances are, that whilst all other journalists are out there, ripping their hair out, attempting to get their articles completed, I'm simply rambling along at my convenience creating my perfect piece. I guess it must look pretty unpleasant to some of you that I work for nothing, perhaps even brutal. Perhaps I have an obvious disregard for authority, I have no idea, but I would sooner be working for myself, than under somebody else, excuse the pun! Small I maybe, but substantial I will become, eventually. My desk is the most chaotic mess, though surprisingly I know where everything is, and I think that I would be quite unsuited for a desk job. My views on matters vary and I am extremely open-minded to the stuff that I write about, but what I write about is the truth and getting it out there, because the people must be acquainted. Though I am quite entertained by what goes on in the world. My spotlight is mostly to do with politics, though I do write other material as well, but it's essentially politics that I am involved in, and I tend to concentrate my attention on that, however, information is essential. If you have information the possibilities are endless because you are only limited by your own imagination...
