Groomers hate sex ed, because it eliminates the ignorance they need to exploit in order to lure in their victims.

If kids don't know they're being abused, they can't tell on their abusers. Gotta ask why the right wing is so vehemently against empowering children.

We don't have to ask that at all, it's pretty obvious actually.

In a series of videos shared in private Facebook groups, Pedersen is seen standing among bushes across the street from the Alberta Teachers’ Association head office in Edmonton. The videos are filmed at night time and Pedersen is illuminating her face with a flashlight.

“I’m in a very special place,” Pedersen tells viewers in one video. “I am standing in front of the Alberta Teachers’ Association. Why am I standing here?"

Because you're a goddamn lunatic?

I mean id probably be good if we waited until hs or college to teach gender identity. Middle school or prior is too early, too confusing for kids who have the misfortune (like me) of maturing very early thanks to GMO foods. Sure teach everyone to not impregnate eachother, but stop at biologics with children.

After reading this comment section I will say that the term far-right is misused so much (thanks headline writer). I am someone who, for example, thinks abortion should be legal, yet that we shouldn’t be teaching kids that if their emotions are strong enough that they should commit to cross dressing and surgeries. Not to say the trans community is entirely con artists, only that they should wait until people are closer to adulthood and therefore more mature before they make permanent decisions.

As it sits the trans movements’ momentum relies heavily on indoctrination of kids, and its sad and alarming that these ideas are not as persuasive to older people. We should not stand behind ideologies that make less sense as we mature, especially in publicly funded school systems. We should teach the oldest ideas to the youngest people, not the other way around.

At college though, we should certainly teach the newest ideas to the now older people. Including trans theory

I agree that we shouldn't be teaching gender identity until high school or college! Time to ban Barbie Dolls and Action Figures! Since those teach gender identity. We also shouldn't teach children that their female teaches are Ms. or Mrs. and their male teachers Mr. That's gender identity too!
