It's Brexit, it's Bolsonaro, it's populists gaining ground in every single EU member state (PiS, AfD etc.) it's even Duterte and Putin who is revered in many Slavic countries not just Russia. And those are just the ones I can think of with out having to do a search. I'll clue some in on who Trumps 'base' is... We don't usually say much, but we are here, we are everywhere, and we are very, very upset. So let me get this straight, because this post really seemed to pivot in the middle there, you are self-identifying as part of the global populist movement that has brought people like Bolsonaro and Duterte to power, and which largely supports Vladimir Putin?

Only in your tiny world view. Trumps President because America is nation of racist and we force our submissive wives to vote the way we tell them.How ridiculous.

He can have whatever concerns he likes. Heck, he can be concerned that the school teaches evolution instead of creationism, or teaches that the Earth is round and not flat. Is that "training teachers to bypass parental authority?" You bet it is. Don't like it? Pull your kid out of school and teach them whatever you want. Quote “If I were to show that material to a child, I would be brought up on charges,” Andrew said. “But somehow our public schools are allowed to teach this to junior high and high school kids.” That's exactly right, he would. Talk to ANY random thirteen year old in the street about sex and you'd go to jail. The only place that's appropriate is in a class covering reproductive health. (And that's not just about reproductive health. Man you don't know puts his hands all over a child you are taking care of you'd probably go ballistic - until you found out it was a doctor examining her after she got hit by a car. Context matters.) Quote They discuss gender roles, the gender spectrum, and in the support materials … they take it even further. They discuss everything, topics like roleplaying for different genders, blood play, dental dams … fisting is mentioned. I mean, they mention it all. Good. Might be a few more people out there who say "oh, yeah, sorry, not into that" when they are pressured to do it. That's a good thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The base is the blue collar worker that has to shell out 500 dollars for an EpiPen for their kids allergies while a junky gets Narcanned 3 times in one day on the public dime. It's the people that turn to drugs and alcohol because they lost their job after they trained their cheap overseas replacement. The family man that payed his taxes for 30 years only to send their son to a school that bans the Pledge of Allegiance but teaches 5th graders how to stick their fingers up their asses.

wmw999 2,545 #138 March 31, 2020 Enough parents don't tell their children enough about reproduction ("don't" does not constitute enough) that it's a public health issue. Want data? teenaged motherhood is more likely in homes with poorer parental involvement, and poorer parental education (Here's a website with lots of sourced information). If your education comes before the schools' (and if they're doing it at 13, your should predate theirs), then your kids will most likely end up even better, because they'll have a context to put the information they get at school into. We're a two-tiered society now; it's possible to go from one tier (which is really the majority of the country -- those who have to scramble more and more), but it's not easy, and it takes sacrifice from the entire family (kind of like immigrants), along with a standout person. Intelligence, drive, creativity, connections -- those the ways to get ahead in America now. But connections are certainly the easiest and the most certain any more. There's crap streamed at people all day on their phones and TVs; it's full of "aspirational" stuff, and information about how they can live like rich people, with only some of their money. Until they're scrambling to support what they actually have, because they watch and believe enough (not all, but enough) of that crap is important to get it, and hope that they have enough to make the rest of it work. Some of it's choice, some of it's their parents' choice, and some of it's the fact that connections (which is a synonym for smart money) are probably the surest way to stay ahead, because you don't have to go all the distance to get ahead.

Some have zero time due to other commitments. (These are also the people, BTW, who generally don't have time to have those long discussions over the dining room table.) Quote The schools should be begging the parent to take the lead,I'm sure it would go a long way, maybe a civics class or detailed US history, a finance class would be nice, but doubt the district would allow such progress. Many schools do a great job there by sending home syllabus notes, progress reports etc so parents can take on such tasks. (Of course, some parents are going to say "oh sure, let me snap my fingers, drop my second waitressing job and I'll get right on it.") Quote What better context than the family? Do you think a teacher best interests in any individual child, could ever match that of loving educated parents? Probably not. Do you think an abusive single parent working two jobs could ever match the best interests of a well-trained, compassionate teacher? Quote No doctor should have their hands all over your girl Accident or not. ?? You know that pediatricians do physical exams, right? Again, context. Quote I think my wife would be the best woman to talk to my daughter about doctors exams as well toys anal and the fist. In your case, agreed. In many cases, the parent(s) are too uncomfortable to have any discussions about sex with their children, much less about homosexuality, blood sports or anal sex. In those cases, the knowledge they get from schools is good both for them and for public health. Quote Adolescent boys generally being less emotionally developed have a very different need in their sexual education, brain chemistry and response. I don't buy the "boys and girls have drastically different needs in sex education" argument. Both need very similar instruction - in consent, in what is risky and what isn't, and in terms of how to protect themselves from disease. The major difference is that one risks getting pregnant and the other one does not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
