Florida high school students participating in a local college course were reportedly given a questionnaire with a focus on sexuality that inquired about their sexual orientation and held heterosexuals responsible for overpopulation. 

According to The Daily Wire, this questionnaire was part of a Miami-Dade College course available to high school students. The course, titled “Preparing for Student Success,” aimed to help students set academic goals and devise strategies for college success, as reported by the news outlet in Miami-Dade County. 

Nevertheless, the students encountered questions such as “What do you think triggered your heterosexuality?” “Might being straight be just a phase you will outgrow?” and “In light of issues like hunger and overpopulation, could the human race endure if everyone were heterosexual like you?”

The questions came from the textbook “POWER: Strategies for Success in College and Life” by Robert Feldman, a senior research associate at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

The questionnaire came from the work of Martin Rochlin, a gay-rights activist and founding member of the Gay and Lesbian Center of Los Angeles who developed the “Heterosexual Questionnaire” in 1972, the news report said. 

The college told The Daily Wire that it determined the assignment will no longer be used after a review. 

“Miami-Dade College is committed to maintaining a safe, respectful, and academically sound learning environment for all students,” the college told The Daily Wire. “In response to concerns raised about a classroom assignment, we have conducted a thorough review of the assignment, and it will no longer be used. We expect all those who teach to uphold these standards and will ensure any necessary adjustments are made.”

The mother told the outlet that a separate questionnaire asked the students about diversity. One activity encouraged them to determine the diversity of their campus by getting statistics of how many racial minorities attend their school; another encouraged them to “check your stereotype quotient.” That included questions like, “If you found out that a star professional football player is gay, would you be surprised?”
