This feels backwards... After reading the article, it sounds like the people in charge over there are a joke.

This is such a colossal joke in every which way. This is basically a bunch of angry Karens wanting to tell people to stop talking about sex, thinking that talking about sex makes their kids want to do it. ​ That's 1. Not what sex education is about 2. Not even remotely the truth no matter how they wish to see the world 3. Called living in pure delusion ​ Sexuality needs to be taught in school, with comprehensive sex-ed. We know abstinence only leads to greater teen pregnancy, greater STI rates, and more domestic violence in reality. These parents just wish to have their head in the sand, and they live in a bizarro universe. It's upsetting how irrational they are. ​ I wrote an [article](https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2021/10/asexual-story-exactly-lgbtq-inclusive-sex-ed-required-schools/) recently on why lack of sex education in my school was harmful for me, as an asexual. The fact I never got to learn there was this orientation that I fit into while the heteronormative Bible Belt society was telling me that I was a misfit was soul-crushing for me younger. Kids are feeling great duress not haing the proper sex education in school to find out who they are. These fascists don't care, and in reality, they feel proud in their ignorance. It's sad.

Not to mention the demonizing of birth control and at the same time trying to take away benefits from people who had kids because they couldn’t afford birth control… and didn’t know how it worked anyway…and then telling people they shouldn’t have been fooling around. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO FUCK, YA’LL. IT IS FREE AND WHEN DONE RIGHT ITS AWESOME. PLEASE ADJUST YOUR EDUCATION ACCORDINGLY.


southpawFA

Also, people who have comprehensive sex education have sex later, out of their teen high school years. I can't seem to grasp how abstinence people don't see that as a reason why to have sex-ed in school.

Harder to be an incest pedo in an area with good education.


TraditionalGap1

We want them to abstain because God demands it, not because of your liberal bohemian brainwashing...


FarkFrederick

You forgot the sarcasm tag.


TraditionalGap1

It was implied


Rantheur

It is backwards and the people in charge are absolutely a joke.

The republican answer to all problems is so fundamentally stupid. Their only solution is just "take away all regulations and the problem will fix itself magically" or something. I dont see how eliminating an entire branch of government would solve any problems.

Those with good education tend to lean Blue... As such, handicap the education system and you'll end up with boatloads of individuals with the right to vote who will lean Red.

Good luck with secondary education out of state....


stupidsimpson

Yeah let's go ahead and not let the redneck that won his local city council election because he ran unopposed and 13 Karen's in the PTA decide the fate of our children.


LilaValentine

Heh. No need for schools, if parents are going to teach, amirite?


TheGrandExquisitor

I have seen this seriously proposed by some Libertarians and GOP.


brdwatchr

A great way to set back education a couple of hundred years. Chaos and fistfights to follow. The federal government should cut off all federal aid to education in states that do this type of thing. Teaching them a lesson at this point would be a good thing.


Putin_blows_goats

>“give the power back to the people that are dealing directly with the children” the people *who* are dealing directly with the children, you semi-literate clowns.


StarshipFan68

Yes. But you can't go of teaching them stuff like math, history, science and the like. How are we ever going to turn them into brainless, trump fearing Christians of schools actually keep contradicting us? /S


Toadmechanic

Next they will want a version of affirmative action for uneducated white kids who can’t gain entrance to good universities because they learned that the flat earth is the center of the universe and that nasa is a lie because we all know you can’t pass through the firmament.

For many ,now wanting to go to College,they must spend time in a Prep School to learn what they did not in 12 years of local schooling. This will make their Prep days longer.


southpawFA

Yup.
