Everyone look over the survey and we all can plainly see that it's not just about sexual identity, it's about everything.

Without reading the survey, I'll bet folding money there are no questions along the lines of, "Are you and your family in this country legally?"

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.
If one can drive in the 7th grade , they got "left behind".

It is a survey, not a test, the child needs not put their name or any other identifying information on it. It seems to be for statistical and educational purposes only. The young people are having great difficulty navigating this crazy world and need as much help as possible, and we can't give them the help they need if we don't know what they are experiencing.
Most importantly, don't we want to know if our children feel safe at school and elsewhere, if they are being abused, if they have a drug problem, if they are bullied? Now mostly boys are targeted online in sexploitation scams and some are so distraught and have nowhere or nobody to go to for help, that they are committing suicide. Some questions on the survey ask if they have anybody in their life that they can go to for help, isn't this the most important thing to know?
And if you look on the footer or each page it says they DO NOT have to answer any question if they don't want to.
As well, one of the questions has them choosing which grade (from 6 to 12) they are in, so this questionnaire is geared to all those grades and may be tweaked for each grade.

Are you reading the 6th grade survey? The OP posted an 11th grade survey too and it's has very much different questions.

Interesting question.

You may not want to know, but lawmakers and policymakers want to know, that is why they want the data collected. Also the school administrators want to know because of the health and welfare of their LGBTQ+ students and to know how to make schools safe places for everyone.

Nailed it...lawmakers and policymakers...
How did we not think of this until now...this survey is going to make schools safer? The health and welfare of the LGBTQ+ students is going to change because they are...going to be treated different? Treated the same?

You think a survey asking 6th grade kids their sexual identity/orientation is to curb bullying?
That my friend is a stretch...a long stretch!

Do you believe that educating children in inclusiveness and diversity won't work to curb ignorance?
