Wow: DC plans to make all buses operating within the District FREE
to all riders, starting in summer 2023. We'll be the first major U.S. city
to have free bus service. Also adding overnight service for 12 bus lines
and giving all DC residents a $100 monthly subsidy for bus/metro.

Apparently we need to go check all of the things ever argued by the spouses of Supreme Court justices to ensure an unrelated case with a similar argument isn’t a conflict of interest.
Is a leftist on this board willing to post that this not Ok?

So no
Correct. The cat is already out of the bag about sex for teenagers, be they gay or straight. I’d prefer they learn safe practices than pretend they’re not going to have it.
At what age group would describe as inappropriate to teach sex ed to?
I haven’t ever thought about it enough to have a good answer. I don’t think my 4th grader is ready for in-depth sex talk, but I know by the time I was in 9th grade there were classmates having sex. I think there’s likely professionals or studies that could help narrow down which of the ages between those two it becomes impactful.
At what age would you not be angry that your teacher is talking to your child about sex?
It depends on the context. Like my edit alluded to, we’ve had the need to start explaining some minor things to my son to ensure he understands if certain actions or behaviors are acceptable or not. If I were to make a guess, I’d say 7th grade or so would be the age range where I’d probably think it’s helpful to start learning a little more about how to safely have sex. That age group is likely already going to be very aware of sex and will probably be savvy enough to find porn. Unless you have a good way to stop kids from learning about sex the wrong way, I’d advise caution against vilifying healthy sex education.
You have to bear in mind that "talking about sex" includes explaining that some families have same sex parents
There’s also certainly going to be like 5 schools across America in the past decade that went too far with sex education with 5th graders or something like that that I’m going to be forced to condemn for some ****ing reason.
