The Oregon Health Authority's annual student health survey asked students as young as sixth grade about their sexual orientation and gender identity.
Participation in the survey was voluntary and anonymous, the Oregon Health Authority says on its website. The questionnaire was administered to students in September.The survey contained numerous questions on student demographics, including race, ethnicity, disabilities, and the behaviors of students' parents.
But one portion of the survey asked students about their sexual orientation, with numerous options, including"asexual or aromantic" and"pansexual," listed. Students were also asked if they identified as"nonbinary,""genderfluid,""agender," or as a"demigirl/demiboy." The gender identity section also included an option for"two spirit" but instructed survey participants to only mark that option if they identified as"American Indian/Alaska Native." The federal government's Indian Health Service says the term refers to Native Americans"who combined activities of both men and women with traits unique to their status as two-spirit people." They were considered to be neither male nor female.
Ian Prior, a senior adviser at the conservative America First Legal, blasted the Oregon Health Authority surveys as"completely inappropriate for school-aged children," saying they serve as"further evidence that schools are pushing a dangerous agenda on children that can have irreversible damage.
