ATLANTA– The state of Georgia has passed on nearly $2 million of federal funding, after the governor declined to include questions about sex on a survey to teenagers in public schools.
Annually, the Centers For Disease Control provides a Youth Risk Behavior Survey to middle schools and high schools nationwide.
On each survey there are a series of questions about students’ sexual history.
Governor Nathan Deal has opted to leave them out. According to a spokesperson, Brian Robinson, the governor was not comfortable asking 12 year old students about sexual partners and condom use.
