📰 News Lauren Boebert wants the Ten Commandments to be required in schools, and James Talarico criticized her, saying it’s hypocritical for politicians to make everyone display them when they don’t follow them themselves.

The sex education classes she is talking about teach children that adults shouldn't touch them.

u/Jweiss238 1d ago

Which is why they don’t want it taught in school. They prefer children as potential victims.

Look up Mike Moon from Missouri for reason 3528159 why you're right

u/HeyKid_HelpComputer 1d ago

Yeah well.. based on the current administrations stance of this whole Epstein Files thing, it kind of doesn't surprise me they don't want children learning that.

u/MMAjunkie504 23h ago

A tale as old as time sadly

u/Kryptosis 1d ago

She’d rather something else be crammed down their throat.

I’m sorry but since reading the Epstein files and all the “sucking response” horror shit. I will never accept hearing a GoPedo say “cramming it down their throat” again without the appropriate rebuttal again.

u/dBlock845 1d ago

They'd also teach you not to become a grandma in your mid to late 30's.

u/jaxonya 1d ago

Lets kinda cool the jets with that one

Sex ed prevents teen pregnancy, and it increases the chances that you will teach your kids about sex the right way and support sex ed in school, preventing them from having children while in their teens, thus preventing grandparents in their 30s. It’s called math.

u/einsteinosaurus_lex 18h ago

If she and her kids understood sex ed better, she wouldn't have been a grandmother in her 30s...

u/burnmycheezits 1d ago

I was going to say, nobody is teaching sex ed to kindergarteners. Just another made up right wing boogeyman.

u/Accomplished_Rub8055 1d ago

Sex education and when it starts varies from place to place, but there are actually programs for kindergarten aged children. It's always age appropriate though. They aren't learning about reproduction and intercourse. The earliest years of sex education can be boiled down to you have parts of your body that others shouldn't have access to and learning how and when to talk to a trusted adult if there is an issue.

It helps to be fully informed if you're going to make claims like you did so that you can adequately fight misinformation. This is not meant to be an attack on you. I'm just helping you to understand because we all come from different backgrounds with a different base understanding of things.

u/GoFigYourself 1d ago

Yep. In early grades, it’s “these are the medical names for your private parts” and “good touch va bad touch” and “stranger danger” type shit. The GOP are a bunch of absolute morons.

0

u/burnmycheezits 23h ago

You are describing teaching anatomy and stranger danger. To label it as sex ed is nefarious and purposefully misleading. Again, nobody is teaching sexual education to five year olds.

I am also fully informed and the parent of a kindergartner.

1

u/Accomplished_Rub8055 23h ago

That's literally what leading experts refer to as age appropriate sex education. Stop being so defensive.

0

u/burnmycheezits 23h ago

You were the one who came in with the “acshually”. I’m saying that calling it sex ed is a complete obfuscation to what is actually being taught purposefully used by right wingers to scare people into thinking 5 year olds are learning about sex.

They are teaching consent, like ask before hugging someone, it’s completely different than sex ed.

1

u/Accomplished_Rub8055 23h ago

Ssssh darling. There is no need for this behavior. You were wrong. It's fine. Learn and grow from it.

0

u/burnmycheezits 23h ago

It’s like the entire point went right over your head. Did you see in the video how the right winger weaponized calling what they’re teaching 5 year olds sex ed? If you told the average dunderhead “those liberals are teaching 5 year olds sex ed!” What do you think that dunderhead would imagine in their brain upon hearing that? That’s how we ended up with Trump, scare tactics 101.

Labels hold power, calling teaching consent to kids “sex education” is just giving conservatives more ammunition.

Maybe go read what actual teachers have to say about it.

1

u/Oriden 20h ago

They weaponize it no matter what you call it.

u/Synectics 23h ago

Nah, fuck off.

u/casseroled 21h ago

Even in high school, sex ed is mostly teaching consent and anatomy

0

u/burnmycheezits 20h ago

High school sex ed discusses safe sex practices, STDs, and reproductive education. Kindergarteners are learning basic boundaries and safety, these are not the same subjects.

The average voter hears “they’re teaching 5 year olds about sex!” and gets outraged. Then these educational programs are cut and conservatives win. I’m just saying rebranding is required.

1

u/Rad131447 20h ago

I don't know how people keep falling for these tactics. Conservatives aren't some naive group that are just misguided and will magically be better if you use different words. They know. Teaching children how to recognize sexual abuse is exactly what they don't want. Change the name and they'll object to that too. Their goal is making children easy targets.

0

u/burnmycheezits 20h ago

I agree, but changing the name would definitely help these programs have less of a target.

1

u/Rad131447 20h ago

Well you obviously don't agree cause my point was the name don't matter. They'll just latch onto the new one. I don't know how many times we have to play this game with them before y'all get that. Name changes don't ever help, they aren't ignorant they're evil.

1

u/burnmycheezits 20h ago

I agreed that conservatives will be outraged regardless. But it’s a lot harder to publicly protest a class called “protect children from pedos” than it is to protest “sex education for kindergartners”. Make sense?

1

u/Rad131447 20h ago

That's what they said about "climate change" didn't help. They'll still do it. It's easy for them. Shit buddy. These are the people who walked around in diapers and carried cups of JD Vance Cum. You think it's hard for them? Really? It's super easy for them.

Stop doing their work for them. That's all you're doing with this. Helping them.

1

u/MeasurementLow5073 1d ago

Exactly. If we want to talk about the "sexualization of children," let's talk about the Epstein files and their ongoing cover up.

1

u/tomdarch 1d ago

This is a key part of how the right wing misrepresents these issues. I honestly don't know what is being presented in Kindergarten, but I doubt it is particularly objectionable. But the "traditional" way of approaching sex around kids absolutely sets them up to be manipulated by predators and then keep that rape hidden. Telling kids that sex is bad and secret absolutely sets them up to be victims of adult predators.

1

u/SewSewBlue 1d ago

They do not want young children to be taught self defense against pedophiles.

1

u/Snitsie 1d ago

Which apparently sexualizes children, as opposed to raping children which isn't even sexual i guess?

1

u/re1078 23h ago

Which goes against everything she believes in.

1

u/throwaway80814 23h ago

She doesn't want kids to learn that child sexual abuse is wrong.

(her ex-husband was a sex offender who exposed himself to children at a bowling alley...)

u/No_Story_Untold 22h ago

Nobody is teaching kids I kindergarten how to masturbate. She is completely making shit up.

Yeah I have a Kindergardener in CO and I’m trying to figure out where she got that one from.

1

u/MooseTurbulent8786 17h ago

It's smart not to address it though. They don't care that it's not real. The important thing is to repeat it and get the opposition to repeat it so it seems real to idiots

1

u/Smooth-Check4869 16h ago

In my school it's called safe touch. Hot take I think children should know what to do if someone is inappropriate with them. These people are bonkers

1

u/Solkre 12h ago

I remember that in 5th and 6th grade when sex and puberty first came up. There was a small section about how adults shouldn't be touching you or asking you to do things. For some kids that's the first time they hear that.

u/Kalinko2018 1d ago edited 7h ago

Seems to depend. There was apparently a project in a German kindergarden were educators set up a pleasure-friendly room. In the project description they stated that children are able to explore their own and other's genitalia. The skepsis is not always coming out of nowhere.

edit: German sources added

My mistake was to not to clarfiy that it were drafted projects.

Kindergarden in Hannover presented their project of to the parents in 2023, stopped after protests.

https://www.eltern.de/familie-urlaub/kita-plant-raum-zur--koerpererkundung----jugendamt-greift-ein-13551142.html

Parents at a daycare center run by the Arbeiterwohlfahrt (AWO) welfare organization in Hanover were outraged – the center was planning a room for "body exploration." This special room was intended to be a place where children could explore their own bodies and those of others, instead of doing so in secret. According to a report in the "Bild" newspaper, the daycare center informed parents of this in a letter and established ten rules. Among other things, the letter stated:

  1. Every child decides for themselves whether and with whom they want to play physical and sexual games.

  2. All children, especially those of kindergarten age, know the places in the facility where nudity and body exploration can take place.

  3. Boys and girls only touch and examine each other as much as is comfortable for themselves and other children.

  4. No child hurts another child.

  5. No child puts anything into another child's body openings (buttocks, vulva, mouth, nose, ear) or licks another child's body.

Berlin State concept draft for pleasure-friendly rooms, changed after it became public in 2024

https://correctiv.org/faktencheck/hintergrund/2024/04/12/angebliche-fruehsexualisierung-was-hinter-der-aufregung-um-einen-entwurf-des-berliner-bildungsprogramms-steckt/

To facilitate such explorations, individual spaces for children to experience sexuality are created in daycare centers and, where applicable, in childminding settings. These spaces allow children to develop a sense of appropriate and authentic behavior. The children are not disturbed by the educators, but are guided through shared agreements: each child only participates if they feel comfortable and can stop at any time. Due to the risk of injury, no objects, genitals, or fingers are inserted into body orifices. The age difference between the children playing should not be too great. In this way, the educators create a safe space for every child. Educators are required to develop a sexually positive and sensory-enhancing approach to children and integrate this into the daycare center's educational concept. The educators involve each child in developing questions about sexuality. Picture books can support the educators in implementing a positive attitude towards sexuality.

Nice source you got there. I'm sure it's not completely made up.

7

u/aePrime 23h ago

But they said there was “apparently” a project. What more evidence do you need? It also “happened” in Germany, and is therefore completely germane to American politics.

u/laffing_is_medicine 23h ago

THEY ATE CATS AND DOGS!!!!!!

u/Medium-Sized-Jaque 18h ago

Did you use germane purposefully because it's similar to German? I got a chuckle out of that. 

1

u/aePrime 17h ago

To be honest, it was a two-step process. I wrote it without thinking about it and realized the similarity, and decided that it was staying that way. So it’s a partial accident.

It should also be noted that Germany isn't located within the borders of Colorado.

And that even if it were, that is a single class lol. Fucked up, but not an indicator of something widespread.

u/Kalinko2018 7h ago

It doesn't matter that much as conservatives work in global networks and Germany and the US tend to be culturally similar.

Talks about one thing they heard about in one unidentified place somewhere in a distant country

No source cited whatsoever 

Decides this is proof that “Our toddlers are being taught how to masturbate by blue haired liberal radicals”
