Not all, that term groomer, a lot of people don't like that term online.
They're very upset, but they're real, they're all groomers.
>> What I find so preposterous about this moment is that on the one hand,
the democrats are actually advocating to teach about sexuality and
crazy gender theory to seven year old children.
And on the other hand,
they get offended if we throw around terms like groomer to push back against it.
>> Next week on sesame street, Elmo will be from myocarditis.
This is look, I've always said that Elmo is a groomer anyway.
>> Elmo's a kid, what's wrong with you?
God, so if you guys needed that montage to know that
groomer has become the hot button buzzword on the right, there you go.
And the question is, where the hell did this term come from?
And a new Washington post article has revealed that where
the smear originated and why it was sort of latched onto so
quickly by everyone from Fox News to Joe Rogan, just like talking about groomer.
So, it all begins in Nebraska.
On March 10th, 2021, Nebraska's education department released proposed health
education standards, including grade by grade guidelines for sex education.
That's great, kids should have sex education.
Learn about their bodies, learn about boundaries,
learn about one of the major functions that the human body performs.
Seems good to me, let's look at what they were going to learn about.
Kindergarteners would learn medically accurate terms for body parts,
seems reasonable, including genitalia.
They were going to learn about interracial and same sex families.
They would also learn about consent and how to clearly say no.
First-graders would learn the definitions of gender identity and
gender role stereotypes.
The meaning of sexual orientation would be explained in the third grade.
Wow, I wish I had that sex education when I was in elementary school,
but know that those proposed guidelines in Nebraska
completely freaked out the community.
So, this happened, one of the people who was against this
wrote a retired pediatrician excuse me named Sue Greenwald wrote,
this is not sex ed as anyone knows it.
This is an email lessons that met these standards she wrote would
be grooming children to be sexual victims.
Hear that, grooming them to be sexual victims when you
talk about interracial sex, same sex and consent?
Cool, eight days after Nebraska officials released those standards,
parents and grandparents formed a private Facebook group, which became
a key organizing tool of the Protect Nebraska Children Coalition or PNCC.
And it helped build a groundswell against the standards by starting a petition
drive, lobbying officials and launching a Facebook campaign targeting
the Nebraska Department of Education and some state school members.
They obviously had an ally, which was Governor Pete Ricketts.
Ricketts called for the standards to be scrapped just one day after their release
and then toured the state to galvanize opposition.
At a July 1st protect our kids in schools town hall meeting,
Ricketts referenced Greenwald, quote, these standards are sexualizing children.
I talked to one pediatrician who said this is grooming 101.
So you have retired pediatrician sending an email,
a Facebook group, the governor and
suddenly we're all saying grooming.
Then it goes on, they start organizing.
So, in November,
PNCC launched the protect Nebraska Children political action committee.
You always eat a pack to endorse candidates for local and
state school boards.
And they did other things like movie nights or movie, excuse me.
They created films cuz that's what you do when you're on the right,
you're like, it's not real until we have our own film.
Look at Bannon.
The film was called mind Polluters and it was produced by Mark and Amber Archer,
a christian couple from Indiana whose statement of faith on their website
of their fearless features film making ministry describes homosexuality,
lesbianism and bisexuality as sexual immorality grouped with bestiality and
incest cuz they're totally the same thing.
The movie claims students are being groomed for sex with pedophiles and says
parents are obligated as Christians to remove their children from public schools.
It's snowballs from there,
you guys this is again, the imagined.
I mean, I don't know how parents have this much time on their hands.
I thought as a parent, you're pretty damn busy raising your kids and
working and just life in general not getting support like you should.
Turns out no, you got plenty of time to be upset, at least in Nebraska and
in this community upset at sexual education, Ray, thoughts on this.
>> Yeah, at first I wanna say so much of this is pushed and funded by the private
and charter school lobbies because this is not just an attack on the LGBTQ community.
Since an attack on the institution of public education because it's not
profitable for these organizations in the same way that they can make
insane sums of money by charter schools and by private schools.
That said, as a member of the LGBTQ community, I'm always horrified and
disgusted to see these types of stories.
Because there's literally no evidence in any way, shape or
form that concludes that gay people are more likely to engage in any sorts of
these disgusting acts against children.
Not at all, but what there is evidence to support is that teaching children consent,
prevents sexual assault.
And it also gives children the tool to communicate to an entrusted adult that
their consent has been violated.
It teaches them that if they are the victims of sexual assault,
that that's wrong and that they have options to report that with.
Without that type of comprehensive sex education,
it makes children more vulnerable.
So when people like the Sue Greenwald say that it actually creates more victims and
they frame consent education as a bad thing, it just makes me wonder,
what are you doing Sue?
That you want children to be more susceptible to be victimized.
What are you getting out of children not being taught to say no, right?
Pushing that narrative, it makes me think,
what kind of heinous things are you doing to children?
Because, >> Yeah,
and this is a pediatrician, right?
So this is a pediatrician saying, no,
I don't want children to know consent, learn consent.
And it's not surprising you have this is a party that using the term groomer
that is now stripping bodily autonomy from half of the American population.
Of course they don't want children to have bodily autonomy.
These are people who are supposedly obsessed with pedophiles and yeah,
they're not actually teaching children how to thwart a real pedophile.
Which is knowing about your own body, knowing about consent,
understanding what is right and wrong and being able to speak up.
So just to raise point guys, she's not pulling this from nowhere,
Columbia University's sexual health initiative to foster transformation or
shift suggests that sexuality education during high school may have lasting and
protective effects for adolescents.
Research found students who received formal education about how to say no to
sex before the age of 18 were less likely to experience penetrative sexual assault
in college.
Students receive refusal training, also received other forms of sexual education,
including instructions about birth control,
prevention of sexually transmitted diseases.
Students who received abstinence only instruction did not show significantly
reduced experiences of campus sexual assault.
And this is, we're talking high school, older, but
starting younger, there is nothing wrong with that.
Do we mean to raise point also, do we mistrust teachers this much?
You think anyone just walks into a school and I'm the teacher now.
No man, there's credential programs.
You actually have to work hard to become a teacher.
Yeah, you gotta pass the background check, multiple.
Yeah, you gotta pass drug test pretty much every year.
What way in what world?
But of course it is all setting it up, buttering it up to ruin and
de fund public education and funnel it all to Betsy DeVos family.
