    Kids need to learn about their bodies, consent and types of abuse early so that they are able to recognize and report abuse being done to them or others. If not, they don’t have an understanding of the language needed to express that things that are wrong and they need help.

    This is EXACTLY why republicans don’t want children to have a functional path to sexual education. And similarly why they don’t want their voters to have a basic general education.

      Dude, I don’t think that republican policy is based on the pedofile agenda

        Given their obsession with satanic pedophile rings and penchant for projection it wouldn’t surprise me at all tbh.

          The number of pedofiles in the population is so small it wouldn’t make sense. It’s like tailoring your policy based on urination fetish peoples desires. It’s not going to get you enough votes to make it worthwhile and it’s going to cost you votes from the people that aren’t pedos which is almost everyone. Disclaimer: I’m not from US and don’t care at all for US politics so I’m not rooting for any team.

            I’m talking about Republicans in office much more often being accused and convicted of doing pedo shit.

            I’m not talking about the general populace, however I will say that for enough people who vote republican, leadership being convicted of pedo shit apparently isn’t enough of a deal breaker.

            You’re misunderstanding. They aren’t interested in protecting pedophiles-in-general, or even most Republican-voter-pedophiles, just, literally, themselves, and maybe their pedophile donors, until those get caught that is.

            Sadly, most of those same donors play both sides of the aisle, and Dems in office are all-too-happy to help them as well, so long as their pockets are deep enough. On that note, here’s your weekly reminder that the Clintons made promoting and implimenting vouchers for private schools a key issue, and yes, these issues are thoroughly inter-twined.
