charter schools: eighth on the all-time list of "Things that Sound Like They Would Be a Good Idea, but Actually Aren't"

I came here expecting a discussion of off trail skiing. Bad thread title.

According to the nation's leading expert on school sexual abuse, "red flag grooming behaviors" include "personal disclosure of adult sexual activity and preferences, and questions to students about their sexual lives."

This is what parents want to stop.https://t.co/orFRUEF9Bx pic.twitter.com/6zOQipj7ks

Pete Buttigieg AGREES with his husband that Florida's anti-grooming law will “kill kids.”

Seriously.

This is why parents think the left are nuts. Pete Buttigieg says he understands why Florida is doing what it's doing but he's convinced they're doing it for "political" reasons.

Witnessing some Florida teachers quitting their jobs because they can no longer talk about sex to 5-year-olds tells me this bill was needed a long time ago.

Wow. Kambree appears to be just as stupid as the RWNJs on this board.

American public schools have become hunting grounds for sexual predators. According to federal government research, school employees harass, manipulate, and abuse up to 5 million kids, often using "grooming" techniques to cultivate their victims—a scandal.https://t.co/xXQU9W8JQ3

Chris Rufo is not an honest broker.

This is really shoddy by Rufo. I did far more work trying to put these numbers into context for a brief, paywalled Substack than he did for an article on the website of a major think tankhttps://t.co/gkUaDYqrSE

The real question is why do Florida Republicans want grooming to continue in charter schools, which are the preferred educational venue for their students? Is it because they believe charter schools are the right vehicle for the grooming of their child brides or are they secretly harvesting adrenochrome from charter school students? Or something even more nefarious?

If Florida Republicans don't support grooming in charter schools, why aren't they doing anything about it?

Again, this is not about sex education for elementary school students. If it were, this would be a completely acceptable bill. Instead it’s about targeting a politically unpopular minority out of animus for political gain. https://t.co/Odc2s7my66 pic.twitter.com/LkUivQsyk5

Democrats labeled it the don't say gay bill. It's political for them.

Transgenders are the most politically privileged minority in America. Stop it w the victim hood.

The great news is that any teacher fired for grooming can easily get a job at a charter school in Florida where Republicans have decided they want grooming to happen.

Do you lie and make shyte up in your real life, or only here?

Remember when hanky1 used to claim he wasn't really a conservative? LOL

Awesome!

Exclusive: Members of far-right forums are threatening violence against teachers & school officials they see as "groomers."

One member of https://t.co/IGMVAqqQSZ even posted the address of a Connecticut superintendent and urged people to "execute her"https://t.co/8sLWGRShSA

You are posting about a random individual threatening to kill people over a problem you previously said didn't exist?

Grooming wasn't a major problem this time last year.

Just like Critical Race Theory wasn't a major problem this time 2 years ago.

The GOP has turned it into a major problem and is conflating being gay or transgender with being a sexual predator, which is what you've been doing in this thread.

Yup, and we have reason to believe that groomers are overwhelmingly straight white men (source: common sense).

I guess we should get rid of straight white male teachers, although to be fair they would still be able to work in Florida charter schools which are not covered by the legislation and welcome groomers.

Charter schools are different. They are allowed to have dress codes. There is an expectation -- sometimes even a requirement -- that students will be well-groomed.

If a random, non-famous straight couple were called pedophiles, do you think any media organization would write about it?

Boohoo.

I mean…how can you not make fun of this stuff?

Oh yeah….transgenders are the most privileged group because as soon as you poke fun of them their mob demands your death and gets you cancelled.

Let us know the next time that happens.

Grooming is a real problem, just ask Bobo. She was groomed, dropped out of HS and now we're stuck with her as the dumbest member of congress (to be fair, in a dead heat with a bunch of other Republicans).

17 yr old Lauren was Jayson’s girlfriend at the time (cough groomer cough); she was also in the bowling alley when this happened - they were both banned from the bowling alley. Not long after he was arrested for a DV incident w Lauren. Family values.https://t.co/I7UT4hb3v2

There's only one REAL Don't Say Gay agenda:

Warner Bros. just took all mentions of a gay character out of the new Harry Potter movie for it's China release...

Crazy how Hollywood and the left IS COMPLETELY SILENT about that ACTUAL "Don't say gay" policy...
