Parents: Reading survey given to students 'questionable'

Parents: Reading survey given to students 'questionable':
ben-hill-letter-821"TAMPA --
Parents at Ben Hill Middle School were taken back when they saw a questionable reading survey come home with their sixth graders.
 The school's reading coach sent home a questionnaire asking the students what types of books they like to read.
Sean Phillips was shocked when he and his son noticed question number 19.
It read, "List the subjects you would like to read about. (teen pregnancy, rape, gangs, etc.)
Phillips' son Morgan told his dad he wasn't sure what those words meant.
"His second day of middle school and they introduce him to the word 'rape,'" said Phillips.
"I just stared at it for five minutes before
I could react.
I was in shock.
It's something you don't expect an 11-year-old to bring home."
