true...not an appropriate questionnaire for the grade level...prolly a lazy teacher who cut and paste or ripped off something from the internet...I can see a possible rationale for the timing tho, coinciding with BHM, where discussion of historical discrimination and the evolution of protected classes is expected...
I see TW's point about using some tool to start a discussion as an effective technique to start the thinking process...in today's world, the average 6th grader will be hearing some talk about such things, just watching the local news and other shows on TV, as Drafter astutely pointed out, or on social media...
as an engaged parent, it would be a good thing to have some conversations with your children about these topics, especially to provide them with the parent's perspectives to be a counterpoint to possibly extreme info your child may hear......
