Kansas Republicans want to criminalize teaching about sex, nude art, and ?harmful? books

what is wrong with the US? What I find funny is they talk about this horribly offensive sex education postre, and I'm picturing something like the ipod comercials or such...no it's just a sheet of paper with lists of thing including oral sex and grinding...that is so offensive they must have issues with sex education? In a part of the US that already has out of control teen pregnancies....

From the link:

“We’re going to self-censor to the point where nothing controversial is ever put before kids,” said Mark Desetti, legislative director of the state’s largest teachers union.

That's a good thing. There is no reason to expose children to controversial sexual content

Or they can quit being a bunch of tyrants and have the parents censor their own children themselves. :wave:

How does a parent censoring a child prevent a school teacher from showing controversial sexual content to the child? :scratch:

How about stopping STD's teen pregnancy, and other such things that the kind of education the board probably wants causes rather then prevents?

Showing students controversial sexual content is going to do much to prevent STD's. It's interesting because if you caught your neighbor showing sexual content of about any kind to your 13 year old daughter you'd likely flip out, but for some reason you (you being in the general not specific sense) trust the government to do so.

Agreed. It's all good :thumbsup:

Except for the punishment for people who don't support their agenda.... funny; you used to be against that sort of thing.

Home schooling. :wave: If you know the teacher will show such thing, then you should do what you can to stop your child from being exposed to it. It is called being a responsible parent.

Good, let them figure it all out on their own and take teen pregnancies and STD's as acceptable costs for the lofty moral goal of not having to mention icky things.

Also love that art classes will be censored as well. Better keep them uncultured.

I have a bad feeling about this. It forces outward abstinence with no change of heart from faith in Jesus Christ.

Not everyone can homeschool. This thread is about what happens in public schools

That begs the question. You're assuming that the only way to prevent teen pregnancies and STD's is to show students controversial sexual content.

Don't worry, it will not force abstinence. Places where abstinence only is taught are the places with the highest rates of teen pregnancies and stds.

Places where abstinence only is practiced are places with the lowest rates of ten pregnancies and STD's

According to the link in the OP, it is predicted that educators will self-censor so much that effective sex education will become very hard.

Now this.

This is a lie. A plain, simple, bold faced lie.

I'm talking about it becoming part of legislation. That is forcing abstinence. True abstinence is by faith in Jesus Christ, which changes people's hearts and motivations towards that which is good. I have a bad feeling that US is about to be enforced with a foreign law that has no emphasis at all on faith in Jesus Christ.

US law is secular, Jesus is already not emphasized by it.
