30 gov. officials address Texas Boys State conference. Zero for Girls State

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/06/30/teens-hear-sexist-cold-beer-and-ttties-speech-at-texas-boys-state-government-training/

Also, sexism was high on the agenda.

One of the campaign posters shows a woman in a bikini with the word “Feds” written across her breasts. The Federalist Party is one of two fictional parties that the boys are assigned to.


Another bikini photo had the slogan, “Feds support transparent policies.”

A cell photo also showed part of the platform of the Nationalist Party, which says that women must “notify their community” if they are pregnant and on welfare.
