A Massachusetts middle school has sparked outrage after forcing students to answer questions about oral sex.
Parent Arlene Tessitore made an official complaint after her seventh and eighth grade daughters were forced to take the Youth Risk Behaviour Study at Memorial Middle School.
After her daughters objected to answering the questions, she said one was told they had to, while the other was taken to a counsellor before also being made to take part.
According to Mrs Tessitore, the school operates on a form of 'passive consent' where students take notes home for parents to sign.
If the school does not hear back, then consent is considered to be given.

As part of the complaint, Mrs Tessitore wants schools across the country to only carry out the tests only after explicit written permission has been given - as the law currently states.
Outraged Mrs Tessitore told Fox News: 'One of the questions is, 'have you ever had oral sex.''
'You’re talking about kids who probably don’t even know what oral sex is.
'It’s adult material.'
