DC schools want to know everything kids do sexually

WASHINGTON - Sex education in schools has always been a controversial topic. From how early is too early to start educating kids to what topics should and shouldn't be discussed. A recent survey developed by Metro TeenAIDS, a community health group dedicated to helping young people fight against HIV/AIDS, has ruffled a few feathers. The survey was given to 7th graders at Hardy Middle School in the District and asked questions such as:

How sure are you...?
- That you can correctly put a condom on yourself or your partner?
- That you would recognize the symptoms of an STD?

In the past 30 days...On how many days did you use marijuana?

Adam Tenner, Executive Director of Metro TeenAIDS joined us on the FOX 5 News at 10.
