(Daily Caller) – The Oregon Department of Education is administering a 2022 student health survey that asks 11-year-olds if they are transgender, according to the Oregon government website.
Oregon’s Student Health Survey is a state-wide test administered on a school-to-school basis to students in classrooms or online to “improve the health and well-being of students,” according to the Oregon government website. The 2022 survey asks sixth grade students if they are transgender and provides seven different gender identity options.
The sixth grade students were given several gender identity options including, two spirit, girl/woman, boy/man, demigirl, which is to feel both female and agender, demiboy, the feeling of being both male and agender, nonbinary, gender fluid, agender, which is having a lack of gender, and nogender. The two spirit option is only to be chosen if the student identifies as American Indian or Alaska Native, the survey said.
Though students are not required to take the survey, the Oregon government website states that the survey is the only way the state will know “how students are doing physically, emotionally and socially.” A version of the Student Health Survey is administered every other year and in 2020 all Oregon counties, with the exception of two, contained schools that administered the survey, according to the Oregon government website.
The Oregon Department of Education did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

I think this is an intelligence test for whoever made the questions.
19. Are you blind?
How are they going to read that text if yes?

These are scary.
55. In the past 30 days, did you drive a car or vehicle?
56. In the past 30 days, did you text on a cell phone while driving?
In the 7th grade? What exactly is the minimum driving age in Origon?
This has to be a joke.

65 is another good one. It asks how long would it take you to obtain and fire a gun. So, every school kid has a gun available and knows how to use it?
I did not know guns were required in Origon homes. Learn something new every day.
Oregon has gone full retard.
Actually, let me take that back. Using a dated, derogatory term for the mentally handicapped, and equating them to the state of oregon is, no doubt, an insult to the mentally handicapped.
If you want to ask someone over the age of 18 these questions, whack away. I have no issue with that.

100% agree...if you're 18...ask away. This is why I posted this because I have a hard time believing parents of these children are okay with this survey! Not every parent in Oregon is a liberal minded person and not all of us have gone full retard!
I agree that this is some sort of grooming technique...I just can't put my finger on why this is happening right under everyone's noses and nobody is doing or saying anything about it.

Here is a good one.
26. Asks about the affects of Covid.
Answer C. I lost my job.
I think that would violate child labor laws.

I just thought I'd put it up for discussion...I guess if it was national news it would be more impactful, but we're just little bitty ol' Oregon and it probably doesn't seem like much for news these days!
I personally was shocked...but then I'm a bit old school and certainly conservative in my values (maybe to a fault)!
Nothing much should surprise me these days I suppose...but these types of things still reach up and grab me and I guess it's because I could not imagine answering these questions when I was 11 or even 17 or 18 years old.
I have a real issue normalizing something like this!
Maybe it's me...and that's just fine if it is...I wouldn't change much!

At what age were you when you recognized (as opposed to being told) what "sex" ("gender" would be more accurate) you were?
And how would you cope if what people insisted that you were too young to decide for yourself, if what you knew yourself to be wasn't what they demanded you be?
Our perceptions, no matter how comfortable they may be, do not determine other people's reality.
Put another way;
