Dear New Mexicans,

Many families rely on school-based health centers (SBHCs) for their children's healthcare, but they may not realize that:

  • SBHCs give children access to abortion and transgender care without parental consent or notification

  • When children go to the SBHC, they are given surveys with invasive questions about sex, transgenderism, firearms, and more.

With over 80+ school-based health centers across New Mexico, these widespread problems are being funded by your taxpayer dollars via the NM Dept of Health. 

 

Please scroll below for info about:

  • Our public records evidence about surveys being given to children at SBHCs

  • Invasive questions about sex, transgenderism, firearms, etc. that NM children are being asked

  • Screenshots of the actual surveys

PLEASE SHARE this information with parents and grandparents in NM, so they will be empowered to protect their kids.


Public Records Evidence About SBHC Surveys

We recently acquired public records from Governor Michele Lujan Grisham's Dept of Health about the surveys being given to NM children at school-based health centers. 

Invasive Questions Being Asked of NM Children

There are two versions of the survey: one for children and another for adolescents (~ages 11-years-old and up). 

 

The survey for children (up to age ~11-years-old) includes asking:


  • whether the child is male, female, or transgender

  • whether the child is straight, gay/lesbian, or bisexual

  • whether there is a firearm in the child's home

 

The survey for adolescent children (ages ~11-years-old and up) includes additional questions such as:


  • what pronouns the child uses, such as He/Him/His, They/Them/Their, Ze/Hir/Hirs

  • whether the child has thoughts "that you would be better off dead"

  • whether the child is in an "open relationship"

  • whether the child has had sex, including "oral, anal and vaginal sex"


Depending on the child's answer to these questions, additional questions which the child may be asked include:


  • whether the child has ever sexted

  • whether the child has had sex with transgender men or transgender women

  • whether the child has had vaginal, oral, or anal sex [with definitions of what these terms mean]

  • whether the child's sex partner has "sex with both men and women"

  • whether the child has prepared for suicide in ways such as "Collected pills, obtained a gun, gave away valuables, wrote a will or suicide note, held a gun but changed your mind, cut yourself, tried to hang yourself, etc.)"

The full adolescent children's survey is 28 pages long and can be downloaded here:



Here are some of the pages. 

NOTE: Due to these and other issues, many parents are choosing to remove their kids from public school and instead homeschool (or send their kids to private school). Our Guide to Homeschooling in NM is on our website here:
