Morning news roundup!
Welcome to the grandma club, Lauren Boebert, 36! (BE CLASSY, COMMENTERS, BECAUSE OF HOW WE ARE CLASSY AS FUCK.) Personally, I disagree with Boebert that teens (and under-teens too!) shouldn't get comprehensive sex education. I very very very think they should, because I do not think it is terrific for teen girls to have babies, seeing as how a honking fifty percent of those girls end up without even a high school diploma, and their children end up ... well hell, let's just blockquote the whole thing:
A 2008 study mentioned by the CDC also studied the impact of teen pregnancies on the children. The offspring of teen moms are more likely to have lower school achievement or drop out of school; have more health problems; be incarcerated in their teens; and give birth as teenagers themselves.
Boebert was a teen mom herself and had to drop out of high school because of her pregnancy. She has received harsh criticism online this week for blasting sex education classes in schools. She had said that public school students should not be taught about enjoying sex and what LGBTQ people do in bed.
"There are schools that are teaching worse than just gender ideology," Boebert said this week during the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). "I mean they have comprehensive sex-ed. They're teaching kids how to have and enjoy sex, and even same-sex sex ."
I think things that are bad for kids — dropping out of school, health problems, incarceration — are bad. If you don't want your son's girlfriend getting an abortion (I think abortions for teens should come with a free "iPod"), well, wouldn't some comprehensive sex education teaching them about contraception have come in handy? No, because you're an asshole. — Newsweek
