Student questionnaire debated
Fairfax County (Virginia) plans to send out surveys to high school students about sex, alcohol and drug use, suicide, weight loss and family relationships. "But some members of the county Board of Supervisors, which is paying for the survey, want to drop the section on sex, saying it could give teenagers ideas. Others want to rephrase those questions so they don't suggest that such behavior is all right. Still others contend that, as awkward as it can be, asking students about sex will yield useful information."
