The Post ran an article today about how Fairfax County cancelled a survey of teens in regards to sex and drugs. The company conducting the survey feared liability suits.
The primary purpose of this survey is to find a problem that needs solving, and the net result is more funding. Think about it; there's no way that they'll accept any drug taking by kids, so we can be sure they'll find something amiss that can be repaired by the county spending more money.
If I were the parents, I wouldn't want the school screwing around with this since it would ultimately result in my property taxes going up yet again, but somehow, I don't think that's what the potential lawsuits are about.
