Re: Don't Say Gay Bill - article showing left bias
While clearly I'm an opponent of this law (check the other thread so see me railing), I don't think that this makes sense.
​
opponent?
​
Unless you are a resident of Tennessee, why be a opponent or a proponent of this legislation? It doesn't effect other people in other states,wtf?
​
If I recall how it went when I was in school:
​
Step One: Some point in grade school (4th grade? 5th?), "Welcome to puberty" -- mostly about "your body is changing". I suspect that there is some extremely basic sexual education in here. "Babies come out of this part."
​
I doubt there's any reason to mention homosexuality in anything but the briefest "Sarah has two mommies" context in Step One. And there's NO EVIDENCE that anyone is doing anything more than that in Tenn.
​
Step Two: Basic Sex-Ed -- Jr high -- mostly dispelling myths and setting the record straight. Urging the kids to wait until they are ready and going over the basics. "No, Asian girls do not have sidewise vaginas", "No you will not go blind if you keep doing that."
​
Perfect place for it. Not graphic discussion of sex acts, but a frank discussion to dispel misinformation. "You can't catch gay".
Step Three: Advanced Sex-Ed - High School -- diseases, pregnancy, condom use, etc
​
And, while this part isn't covered in the specific law, this is a great place for more detail about safety.
​
I agree with all of that. So what is the problem?

Re: Don't Say Gay Bill - article showing left bias
character assassination is all the left has when confronted by evidence in a logical fashion, you should know this by now

Re: Don't Say Gay Bill - article showing left bias
I'm an American. Any law in any state which attempts to suppress other Americans is something I care about. I'm worried that you don't feel the same.
​
Except that by telling other Americans in other states what they can and cannot do, and what Legislation they can and cannot create, you are doing exactly that in which you claim to be against.
​
The law would make it illegal. That's the problem.
​
No it wouldn’t.
