    Not only that, she takes Christmas photos of her kids holding assault rifles, yet wants to tell parents unlike her what they should or shouldn't do.

    I don't think 3rd graders should be exposed by a teacher to a song that contains words like fa**ot and it's also political in that it talks about "right-wing conservatives". I think teachers should be impartial politically, certainly towards 3rd graders.

    Semantics you fool. They said sexual preference or gender identity, right?

    Well, in Germany, once you are 18, you are allowed to make any decision for yourself.

    It's only in the US that you can't drink before you are 21.

    Why do you always sound so triggered?

    So then you don't think the message overall is as important as some of the language used.

    There you go again with your triggered and woke comments when someone doesn't agree with your discrimination or bigotry.

    Tell me, how do you find this not addressing LGBTQ?

    It prohibits classroom discussion in grades K-3 on gender orientation and sexual identity.

    So, if a child asks if it is ok for their parents to be two women or men, the teacher has to say "I can't discuss that" like it's wrong. If a child is picked on or bullied for being gay, then a teacher can't have a discussion on bullying kids, and teaching them that it is not ok to bully children because of who they like, and they should treat their classmates with love and not hate.

    No, the message can be brought across without playing a music video that contains language that's not age-appropriate.

    It's important to teach children values, but in a non-partisan manner without offensive language.

    You don't have children, right?

    Nothing in your post is correct.

    You always ask these silly questions. Aren't you too old for that?

    Why is my question silly. You agree with Boebert. So...is 18 too young for a USA citizen to make the decision to start the gender change process?

    I'm not talking about Germans drinking beer.

    My answer is that I grew up with everyone being free to make all their own decisions at age 18, and I consider that reasonable.

    Overall, old farts like you and me have of course become much wiser over time (cough), and 18 year olds make all kinds of dumb decisions of course, but at some point, people have to live with their decisions, and one has to let them.

    As to the other part of your question, teenage pregnancies are of course a problem that mostly has to do with education (or lack thereof), but clearly, the teenager herself must not be penalized or anything. It was clearly a rhetorical question, what do you expect me to say?!

    I took that quote straight from the bill. It lends itself to interpretation, so you saying isn't correct is your interpretation but another parent might call authorities if that topic is discussed.

    Do you think kids choose to be gay or can be groomed to be gay? Do you believe they should repress their feelings until they are 18?

    I don't know. I assume the preference is mostly something people are born with.

    I don't think they should repress their feelings any more or less than everybody else.

    I don't seeing her wanting to change the age to join the military. That is a pretty life changing decision. How about churches? I think 7 year olds should be prevented from standing up professing their love for Jesus. Talk about indoctrination. Like a child can understand that concept.

    At least Jesus didn't rape children.

    Yes, awful. There is also the founder of a religion who did it.
