Don't Say Period

Florida. Where else?

A Florida Republican seeking to restrict sex education for students confirmed in a committee hearing on Wednesday that his bill would also ban young girls from discussing their menstrual cycles with school officials.

Rep. Stan McClain’s (R) proposed legislation, House Bill 1069, seeks to restrict the educational materials used in state schools, which critics have likened to book banning. The bill requires course material and instruction on sexually transmitted diseases, health education or material on human sexuality to “only occur in grades 6 through 12,” according to the legislation.

Yet they can see xxx rated porn and far worse on the internet.

This is just the first beginning step to control of all information regardless of age or information types.

If you have any kind of content it won't be posted until it's been censored (carefully worded as "reviewed"). If it's not "reviewed" then it can not be posted. Guess would does the "reviewing"? 🤷🏻‍♂️

You can not protect your kids that way without affecting everyone else.

@DeWayfarer Unfortunately, it's not the beginning.

@Northwest that's relative. The end goal is all information. That will take decades to "review".

So this is the "relative" beginning.

So you know we did have censorship in the sixties and seventies far, far worse than today. I was around for it. Any kind of sex education was unheard of. We just didn't have it. In fact we had a religion classes in public schools.

I was one of the few that whose parents excused me from the Christian classes my father had to sign it.

I made certain it was my father that signed the excuse.
