I think the latest spate of GOP insanity reinforces how important sex ed is in public schools

[johnd83]

It has become clear with the latest comments by prominent GOP and the personhood amendments show that the GOP leadership has absolutely no idea how the human reproductive system works. If they had sat through a science-based sex ed program (and payed attention), they would realize instantly how insane they sound. The problem is the conservatives treat sex as so taboo that it can't be talked about it in real terms, and their positions just go completely off the rails. There isn't any point in hiding the reality of sex from kids; if they know what it really is they can make informed choices.

1. I think the Republicans hate sex ed

Because they want to make kids believe all these ignorant lies.

2. Thought the same thing.

I wonder if they think talking about sex takes some of the mystery out of some holy deity or something. Which also pretty much means there's no talking to them about population control either.

3. they revel in their ignorance

4. Yeah there's some serious ignorance there

and I'm sure it's passed on from one generation to the next.
