Gay! Gay! Gay! So, There!
And it’s headlines: Pennsylvania lawmaker introduces bill modeled after Florida ‘Don’t Say Gay’ law: ‘Mine goes further’
Further? What? You can’t even think gay?
Borowicz during a news conference at the state capitol building in Harrisburg last week said her bill “goes further” than than the Florida law because it bans instruction related to sexual orientation and gender identity through the fifth grade.
Florida’s goes to the third grade, which as we know, obviously causes hurricanes. So, we’re two grades further along to complete, total, and inequitable butt ignorant.
And then just in case you want to argue that Pennsylvania’s plan is a slippery slope, she lends you a big ole helping hand.
“It needs to really be protected all the way up to twelfth grade,” she said. “We need to go all the way.”
Well, not all the way to the governor’s office. The Republican candidate for governor is ten points down. Which I kinda think was the cause of this in the first place.
Her second quote says that “We need to go all the way”. Is she trying to teach the children to “go all the way”?
1As a parent and teacher, what I have found is that the moment something is banned, children, especially teens, rebel. It’s all they can think about and feel compelled to do and they find ingenious synonyms to further enrage the powers that be.
2Now, if they ban the word fascist…
You can’t control what people think or feel. Well, what do you know? Here’s a flaming idiot who trying to top De Satan by saying stupid sheet.
3Thanks, perfect excuse to go back and see Randy Rainbow’s delivery on the Don’t Say Gay bill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZfKzu326NI
Much more reasonable presenter!
4I wonder how much projection is involved on her part.
5When I think about how much I learned about sex in school, in the classroom versus out of the classroom, it was mostly out of the classroom.
When I think about how much I learned WRONG about sex in the classroom versus out of the classroom, again, it was mostly out of the classroom.
So Borowicz’s bill and the internet should make sexual stupidity even worse than it was in my day.
6Star @ 3!
7Had seen that Randy Rainbow before, but enjoyed it just as much as the first time.
Ok, going back to watch again. Maybe twice! Or thrice!
In the classroom, we were given a stupid little booklet, “It’s time you knew” about the time that girls were close to getting their periods. Don’t know what the boys were taught in their class. And why were gym teachers teaching it? Personally, I think most of us learned all we needed to know (and a lot we probably didn’t need to know) outside of the classroom. Teens will find a way whether uptight prudes like it or not.
8I’d just be happy if all the boys were taught that women don’t pee out of their vaginas. We’ve got legislators making laws about women and girls who think that we do.
9Does Pennsylvania state Rep. Stephanie Borowicz (R) really want to be trampling so close to territory of The [Andy] Borowitz Report?
I mean, it’s gotta be satire, right, when she opines “It [a ban on discussions of sexual orientation and gender identity] needs to really be protected all the way up to twelfth grade,” she said. “We need to go all the way.”
To be fair, I’ve not gone to read the proposal … and it is quite possible that it somehow distinguishes between “announcement” and “discussion.” And MAYBE it is fair, banning a teacher from mention of anything about his, her, or their orientation, domestic living arrangements, and handling of animals.
I do wonder about how a biology teacher might cover varieties of reproductive strategies without speaking of gender identity. And US history from at least mid-nineteenth century on, shorn of any mention of sexual orientation and gender identity, would have a difficult time talking about women’s suffrage, the temperance movement, the Equal Rights Amendment, and a large amount of the aims of the labor movement. And without mentioning gender identity, how do you describe the importance of Geraldine Ferraro, the impeachment of Bill Clinton, the reaction to the nomination of Hillary Clinton, and the election of Kamala Harris?
10Officer! Officer! That woman said she wants “to go all the way” with children!
11Their would-be governor now wants murder charges for women who have abortions. They just keep digging the hole deeper. His rally in Harrisburg drew a crowd that could have met in a living room but it doesn’t seem to register.
12OT’s- MTG’s husband files for divorce. What could she have possibly done to cause that?
13Also, Ken Paxton fleeing a subpoena and lies about why. What’s the news around them parts about that? No surprise really. He’s been fleeing the law all the time he’s been in office, that top TX law enforcement occifer guy.
