UTAH TEACHER GIVES CLASS "DECENCY QUIZ"

A Utah high school teacher has been placed on administrative leave after giving students a questionnaire that scored them based on their sex lives and drug use. The teacher gave 11the graders at Roy High School, about 30 miles north of Salt Lake City, the 30-question survey as part of an “Adult Roles” course. The course’s intention is to teach students about human relationships and financial literacy. The questionaire appears to come from a 1981 Dear Abby column. Some of the questions:
– “Ever gone totally steady?”
– “Ever been kissed?”
– “Ever been French kissed?”
– “Ever parked for more than an hour?”
– “Ever said ‘I love you’ to more than one person in the same week?”
– “Ever been kissed while in a reclining position?”
– “Ever made a member of the opposite sex cry?”
– “Do you drink alcohol or beer every day?”
– “Have you ever had sex without using a contraceptive?”
– “Have you ever slipped angel dust into someone’s drink?”
– “Even though you are straight, would you go kinky to see what it’s like?
– “Have you ever had an abortion?”
– “Have you had more than one abortion?”
At the end, you add up your score. The ratings:
– A nerd – just where you should be at your age.
– Pure as Ivory soap and maybe a fruitcake.
– Passionate but sensible.
– Normal and decent.
– Indecent.
– Headed for serious trouble.
– Already there.
– Hopeless and condemned.
* Less than a month into the school year, and we have our first Nitwit American Teacher story. It’s gonna be a long year.
* And we could have guessed about the “administrative leave.” They never get fired. These people protect their own.
* Oh my God, I’m in my (30’s/40’s/50’s) and I only rate a sensible on these questions!
* Oh my God, I remember ‘parking’?
* “Have you ever slipped angel dust into someone’s drink?” Those are some tough 11th graders!
* You could maybe be a “fruitcake”? Shame on you, Dear Abby!
* The teacher should have gone with one of those Cosmo magazine quizzes. They’re much more scientific.
* This is the wrong teacher for a class called “Adult Roles.”
