Indiana GOP Deletes Consent From Sex Ed Lessons

Indiana GOP Deletes Consent From Sex Ed Lessons

Source article:

Byrne said he preferred to let school boards decide if local curricula include topics on consent. “(Teaching about consent) can still happen. We’re just not going to require that in this bill,” he said. “This is a sensitive subject for many. I believe it may be different thoughts in different communities, and … this leaves, for the most part, local control on making those decisions.”

Where are these communities where they may have ‘different thoughts’ on consent?

Any community that has thoughts that consent to sex isn’t important are the communities were teaching consent (i.e. the fucking law!) is absolutely critical.


Ironic how the very same people bitching about the LGBTQ shoving our lifestyles down their throats specifically choose not to teach children about consent.


The religious right has been fighting against consent as a factor in sexual relations for at least 30 years now. They used to claim that it was because they only believed in sex between married (opposite sex) couples, but it’s become clear that they are against teaching about consent because most of their leaders are rapists.

=========================================================================

Yes. These are the people who refuse to convict men accused of raping ten year old girls because “she was asking for it “ (tight jeans, walking alone, going to a party at another family’s house) (not said: poor or non-white or intellectually or physically handicapped – defending the high school football players who gang-raped a Down’s syndrome girl student).

Monsters.


Why teach consent when you can teach “slashing a tire to get someone to ride home with you so you can divorce your wife and get married to the younger model instead” like Jesse Watters did?

And by me as I was being abused emotionally, physically, and sexual.  I was going to the SDA church and told god would protect me if I prayed hard enough.  He did not, no matter how hard I prayed.  I guess I was not worthy.  The Christian apologist say that the right of free will for the abuser was more important than the safety of the abused child.  Hugs

News Anchor: Legislators in Georgia are scrambling to fix their laws after a shocking incident where a man registered to vote on election day. 
"One man has been arrested in connection with the voting."
Cop: We don't know what this psycho wanted. He was pretty much fed up and at the end of his rope and this is what he did. 
Politician: You can just get mad one day, decide to vote, and then raise my taxes. No background check, no waiting period. 
It's CHAOS! And people are going to get hurt!
Crazy Person: Well, I'm not taking this laying down. 
I've purchased all of this since the comic started.

Man: We at Boston Dynamics are proud to introduce DigiDog! The FIRST NYPD robot cop on the streets!
Man: It can run, speak, enter hostile environments AND employ facial recognition! 
Cop #1: This technology sounds a little worrying. 
Man: No, no. This science is ONLY for good. We're never going to arm our puppers or use them to profile, shoot or harass people. 
Cop #1: Oh good> I thought they might steal our jobs. 
Cop #2: Now, can you plant a wittle weapon for me, doggo woggo?

Rich Man: Ah ah! Sudden cost increases will make our humble soylent business all but impossible. 
Rich Man: I do think phasing in $15 over the course of the century is smart. Very doable. 
Gorm: $15 doesn't even buy a squirrel ration anymore!
Gorm: It now takes 200 years of labor with no days off just to put a down payment on a shack - and that's in a rad zone!
Rich Man: You've been loyal to me. I'll tell you what. How about I buy you some implants so you can keep working that long? 
Gorm: Hey, thanks. You're alright!
Rich Man: Process Gorm and hire someone grateful. 
Slave: Already done, sir. Snack?

Matt Walsh STUNNED During Heated Debate | Hasanabi reacts

If you look past the Matt Walsh crap Hasan gets to talking about people who are passing as the gender they identify as.   And that is one reason why the red states are pushing so hard to trans block kids from using puberty blockers while allowing them for cis kids, they work and are safe but the trans kids won’t go through the wrong puberty giving them the wrong features we normally associate with genders.  These people are terrified they won’t recognize who is trans because they pass so well.  It shouldn’t be the issue I know as many wonderful trans people who had to go through the wrong puberty are still the gender they know and identify as.  Sadly two things are at work.  The two groups working together to stop trans positive or any positive LGBTQ+ inclusion / equality are the fundamentalist religious groups who think the entire world should run according to their faith … yet they have different faiths so … and the republican politicians who use it as a way to win votes and keep their base outraged.  Both groups have their own agenda and they both ignore science and facts to create the narrative / outrage they desire rather than create a peaceful loving inclusive society.   Oh I guess I forgot the white supremacist Nazi’s but they really fall under the Fundamentalist Christian banner right?   Hugs.
