Homeschooling expert: Sex-ed is a liberal plot — make kids watch guinea pigs do it instead

Looks to me like she's been watching the guinea pigs a bit too much.



On a more serious note, the crazy ain't just in her eyes.

A conservative activist, who has been billed as a homeschooling expert by tea party groups, warned over the weekend that sex-ed courses were a plot to increase the number of Democratic voters by destroying marriages.

In an interview with radio host Jan Markell, Marjorie Holsten argued that the only way that schools could teach sexual education in the Common Core curriculum would be to waive obscenity laws in many states.

“People say to me, why would they teach such awful things to our children?” she remarked. “If you go deep down and you connect those dots, you see that when children are desensitized to sexual things, that affects their ability at a later date to bond with a spouse.”

“And so if you have somebody who can’t bond, they’re not going to have a stable marriage. When you have unstable, broken households, how do they vote? Democrat. So this has a very evil underlying intent.”

Obviously there's a conflict there somewhere if they think sex is awful.

This is why I'm against most homeschooling--kids can be taught pretty much anything their parents think it right, no matter if it is or not.
