Politics Luke Esser’s Sexual and Biological Contradictions
posted by on March 8 at 17:04 PM
So, here’s GOP chair Luke Esser’s press release on the sex ed bill.
DEMS TO LOCAL SCHOOL BOARDS:
TEACH SEX ED OUR WAY OR NOT AT ALL
The State Senate passed a bill to discourage abstinence-based sex education on Wednesday, giving state bureaucrats more power over curriculum and blocking key amendments that would have given parents and local school districts more the authority to determine the best ways to teach sex education in their community.
“Sponsors have claimed the bill is intended to promote medically accurate sex education, but that is just a smokescreen designed to camouflage an “Olympia-knows-best” agenda to discourage and then eliminate abstinence-based sex education,” said Washington State Republican Party Chairman Luke Esser.
Huh? Abstinence is explicitly cited in the bill as part of the curriculum: “Every public school that offers comprehensive sexual health education or abstinence education shall offer both abstinence education and comprehensive sexual health programs.”
Furthermore, all the testimony I heard from supporters of the bill included abstinence on the list of birth control options. The Democrats that passed the bill simply want other forms of birth control taught alongside abstinence.
Luke, the GOP has no place making the case that all the possibilities shouldn’t be taught. Isn’t the GOP the party that says all the possibilities must be taught in biology class: evolution and intelligent design. Your candidate for U.S. Senate said so last year and GOP President Bush says schools should teach all the theories.
Are you arguing that when biology class gets to sex ed, public schools should be allowed to limit the discussion by only teaching abstinence?

Short answer? Yes.
I'm so tired of these goddamn sex-obsessed pseudo prudes. I heard a guy on Dave Ross' show this morning (Hi, Don from Dupont!) complain that his daughter's sex ed class made him uncomfortable because they talked about the consequences of sex (disease, low self-esteem, etc.) equally, without specifically calling out the probabilities of getting X disease from Y type of sex - i.e. 30% higher chance of HIV from gay anal sex, 27% higher chance of chlamydia from group sex, 19% higher chance of herpes B from oral sex, etc. (note to pickers of nits - all stats made up inside my head)
Why not just teach kids that sex has consequences and to avoid it until you're ready, and protect yourself if you can't avoid it? Because Don wants his little girl to grow up knowing that God hates fags. He wants her to know that some sex is different. He wants the school to help him teach her that the homos are all gonna die, so she should keep putting thing A in slot B.
Fucking douchebags.
Har! Of course, everyone knows, the surest way to discourage abstinence is to actually include it as part of the curriculum.
Not surprising to see Esser putting forth such a pathetically inept argument - isn't it the GOP that insists schools ONLY teach "abstinence only sex ed"? So, it's perfectly okay when THEY dictate curiculum - no matter how ineffectual or just flat-out factually wrong it may be - but when the Dems do it, suddenly it's a power grab?
And they wonder why they can't win a state election...
I thought this bill requires scientifically accurate information to be presented. If there was any factual basis for abstinence only education being effective, it could still be the curriculum. It isn't.
The illogic here is particularly breathtaking. The teenage mind: "Wow, there are things called condoms? Now I shall go forth and have sex!" "No, honey, I'd have sex with you right now, 'cept you might get cervical cancer in 20 years."
Do these people want to be ankle deep in children from ill-educated children?
Thanks to the internet there is at least some diffusion of knowledge to even the most sheltered adolescents.
hehehehehe.... sex
and the Wingers don't like smoking dope --- no sex unitll marriage --- they have a practical and popular agenda, esp. for youth
The GOP has to dumb everything down and lie about what they are doing. Otherwise, even their retarded party members might balk at some of their crap.
News Flash to Deadender GOPers: It is the 21st Century. You are stuck in the 19th Century. Wake up and get with the program!

Teach the controversy!
"Well, kids, some people believe that sex is a beautiful thing that consenting people can enjoy and should make responsible, informed decisions about. Others believe it is icky-poo-poo that you should not do until you get married or talk about EVER."
Wonder which the kiddies will want to hear more about.
