Canadian parents and commentators have criticised a district school board which has rolled out an intrusive survey questioning young children about their sexuality.
The Upper Grand District School Board in Guelph, Ontario, launched the census to identify barriers based on students’ identity.
In the survey, which is not anonymous, students are not asked about biological sex, but instead have to select their gender identity and sexual orientation.
The survey explains gender identity as ‘a person’s feeling’ and that it can be ‘different from their sex assigned at birth’.
