A school in Vermont asked 5-graders to talk about their sexual preferences.

In Vermont, parents of fifth graders complained to a survey conducted among students about their sexual preferences. In particular, children were asked to talk about their sexual history, preferences and gender identity. The survey was conducted by a nonprofit organization for the prevention and protection against violence in families WISE, writes New York Post.

The organization says it sent notices to parents about the intent to conduct the survey and that they could opt out if they did not want their child to participate in the survey. But one parent, Vanessa Beach, said she had not received any notification.

She noted that she is not against surveys about gender identity and sexuality, but she believes that this age category of children is not suitable for these purposes.

“My daughter is 10 years old. Just like all the other children who took part in the survey. Having a sexual partner at age 10 can be called sexual abuse,” she says.

According to the nonprofit organization WISE, researchers from the University of New Hampshire took part in the survey design. The organization stressed that children may refuse to take the survey.

School officials and WISE representatives said they are working on handling complaints from parents.
