A PROPOSED CHANGE TO AN OMAHA, NEBRASKA SCHOOL DISTRICT'S
POLICY ON SEX ED LED TO NOT ONLY ACTUAL VIOLENCE BUT
ACCUSATIONS OF CONSPIRACY THEORIES THAT PLANNED PARENTHOOD
HAD COME INTO THE DISTRICT TO ROB THEIR DAUGHTERS OF THEIR
PURITY.
AND THAT IS WHERE PEOPLE WENT CRAZY.
SO THEY HAVE THIS MEET-UP
WHERE PEOPLE CAN AIR THEIR GRIEVANCES, OF WHICH THEY HAD
MANY, RANGING FROM I THINK REASONABLE CONCERNS ABOUT WHAT
THE CONTENT OF THESE CHANGES WILL BE -- AFTER ALL WE HAVE HAD
CHANGES IN THE PAST THAT HAVE PUT MORE EMPHASIS ON ABSTINENCE
ONLY EDUCATION AND HAVE INCLUDED SUCH THINGS AS TEACHING PEOPLE
THAT WHEN YOU RIP OFF A BAND-AID IT GETS LESS STICKY, AND THAT IS
THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENS TO WOMEN WHEN THEY SLUT IT UP --
WHAT?
RIPPING OFF A BAND-AID?
THEY PUT A BAND-AID ON SOMEONE AND THEN RIP IT OFF AND THEY SAY
IT LOSES ITS STICKINESS THE WAY A WOMAN LOSES HER PURITY AND
INNOCENCE.
THEY LITERALLY USE THAT.
OR THAT AS YOU WALK AROUND
YOU GET GUM AND DIRT ON YOUR SHOES, THAT IS WHAT WOMEN ARE
LIKE, SO STAY AT HOME, DON'T GO OUT AND SLUT IT UP AGAIN.
BUT
THERE IS THIS ACCUSATION THAT PLANNED PARENTHOOD HAS COME
IN AND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE CHANGES.
THEY ARE THE NEW
ACORN, THEY DO EVERYTHING.
THAT IS WHAT PLANNED PARENTHOOD IS DEALING WITH RIGHT NOW.
THEY ARE NOT WORRIED ABOUT CONGRESS.
BUT ACCORDING TO THEM,
THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN INVOLVED.
OF COURSE NOT.
ONE WOMAN IN
ATTENDANCE WORRIED THAT PLANNED PARENTHOOD HAD COME IN AS PART
OF A LARGER RING TO CONVINCE OMAHA PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO MAKE
CHANGES.
WHICH IS CONTRADICTORY.
BY THE WAY, YOU HAVE YOUR ANSWER IN THERE.
YOU ARE, THAT IS YOUR JOB.
YOUR DAUGHTERS ARE YOUR JOB.
I WOULD STOP USING THE WORD
PURE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS SUPPOSED TO MEAN.
I KNOW WHAT
SHE MEANS BY THAT, AND WE HAVE A STORY IN THE SECOND HOUR
THAT SHOWS WHAT MODERN-DAY AMERICANS THINK OF PURITY --
THOSE GIRLS CAN'T WAIT TO GET OUT OF YOUR HOUSE, MAN.
THEY WILL BE SO PURE IN COLLEGE.
AND MORE POWER TO THEM
IF THEY CHOOSE THAT.
UNFORTUNATELY THIS WENT BEYOND
JUST WORDS.
CLEARLY I LIKE JAY IRWIN, BUT I AM NOT SURE HE IS THE MOST
RELIABLE -- THE WAY HE WRITES SUGGESTS HE IS COMING AT IT
FROM A PARTICULAR SIDE.
BUT THE IDEA THAT PEOPLE WERE YELLING ABOUT SIN AND GOING TO
HELL, I BUY THAT.
OF COURSE.
I COVERED EDUCATION FOR TWO YEARS IN CHARLESTON, IT ALL
HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.
AND WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS PARTIALLY BECAUSE IT IS ABSURD,
BUT WHAT IS MORE ABSURD IS HAVING THESE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT
THESE BRONZE ERA IDEAS OF SEXUAL MORALITY WHEN TEACHING ABOUT
ABORTION AND SEXUAL PREFERENCE AND GENDER IDENTITY ALONG WITH
BIRTH CONTROL AND THE OTHER THINGS, IT'S NOT JUST SO WE WILL
ACCEPT THESE OTHER AMERICANS WHO HAVE OTHER IDENTITIES, IT IS
THAT THEN IF YOU TEACH THE KIDS THIS STUFF, THEY DON'T GO OUT
AND HAVE THE KIDS SO YOUNG.
THEY DON'T IN SOME CASES HAVE TO HAVE ABORTIONS BECAUSE THEY
GET PREGNANT SO YOUNG.
WE KNOW THAT PROVIDING CONTRACEPTION AND TEACHING ABOUT
SEX ED LOWERS ABORTIONS.
IT STOPS ABORTIONS.
IT DOES NOT
STOP PEOPLE FROM HAVING SEX, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T DO THAT, IT
DOESN'T WORK.
YOU COULD, JUST GET THEM INVOLVED IN MY HOBBIES.
THAT SEEMS TO WIPE OUT ALL SEXUALITY.
BUT ASIDE FROM THAT, YOU CAN'T STOP IT.
IT IS NATURAL, NATURE FINDS A WAY.
I DON'T EVEN NEED TO MAKE FUN OF YOU, YOU ARE DOING IT YOURSELF.
IT IS TRUE.
BUT IN ANY EVENT THIS IS SAD.
IT IS 2015.
AND BY
THE WAY, I KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT DIRECTLY WHAT THE DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION IS ON A LOCAL LEVEL GETTING INVOLVED IN, BUT WHEN
REPUBLICANS SAY ALMOST UNIFORMLY THAT THEY WANT TO GET RID OF THE
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND GIVE ALL THE RESPONSIBILITY TO
STATE AND ESPECIALLY LOCAL GOVERNMENT TO SET EDUCATION
POLICY, THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT TO WIN OUT.
THEY WANT CRAZY
PURITY MOM TO HAVE A SAY, AND TO MAKE SURE THAT IS WHAT
EVERYBODY'S KIDS LEARN.
THAT IT IS BASED ON WHATEVER HER SECT OF
CHRISTIANITY BELIEVES ABOUT SEXUALITY.
YOU CAN OPT YOUR KID OUT, AND IF YOU WANT TO TORTURE YOUR POOR
KID, OPT THEM OUT.
BUT THE FACT IS, LEARNING ABOUT GENDER IDENTITY
-- NOBODY IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD HAS DECIDED TO BE GAY
BECAUSE IT CAME UP IN SCHOOL.
THAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED, IT IS
NOT A THING THAT CAN POSSIBLY HAPPEN.
THREE THINGS, ABORTION, GENDER IDENTITIES, AND --
SEXUAL PREFERENCE.
NOBODY IS CHANGING THEIR SEXUAL PREFERENCE BECAUSE A
TEACHER BROUGHT IT UP IN A CLINICAL SEX ED CLASS, IT
IS INCONCEIVABLE.
HERE IS WHAT KIDS WILL DO: GIGGLE, BE SHY, MAKE FUN OF
THINGS, AND THEN AFTERWARDS THINK MAYBE A LITTLE BIT.
AT THE VERY LEAST.
AND BY THE WAY, LEARNING ABOUT ABORTION IS NO GUARANTEE THAT IT
WON'T MAKE THEM ANTI-ABORTION.
I DON'T KNOW.
BUT YOU TEACH IT,
YOU TEACH IT SCIENTIFICALLY, THAT IS ALL.
AND THAT IS WHERE YOU LOST THEM.
YOU BROUGHT UP SCIENCE
