"Activist Mommy": I'll Sue Schools Teaching Sex Ed for Violating Obscenity Laws

http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2018/04/13/activist-mommy-ill-sue-schools-teaching-sex-ed-for-violating-obscenity-laws/

Elizabeth Johnston (a.k.a. the “Activist Mommy”) is the homeschooling Christian mother of 10 who went viral last year with her multiple rants against Teen Vogue for daring to publish an article about anal sex.



...She’s promoting an event on April 23 called the “Sex Ed Sit Out” in which parents keep their kids home for the day in protest of what she claims is “controversial, gender-bending, and graphic sex education and anti-bullying programs.” (Yes, she’s for bullying. Because LGBTQ kids must be told they’re deviants who need to be cured through Jesus.)

What’s so controversial about sex-ed? According to her, kids in public school are being taught “how to question whether they really are a boy or a girl” and “how to have anal and oral sex.”

That’s her description of classes that tell kids transgender people exist, that boys and girls don’t all fit into every stereotype, and that there are different kinds of sex (with their own associated risks).

She would need to spend several hours a day recharging her stupidity quotient by pouring through websites purposefully designed to mislead and deceive the weak minded. Obviously, she has mastered that ambition.

Which is a PROVEN method to reduce the abortion rates, as well as delay first intercourse as observed in northern European countries. They're against birth control too, another proven method to reduce abortions.

Can't respect anybody with those attitudes.

I remember when these "conservatives" favored mandatory birth control for any woman who received public assistance.

I think that's what Jack van Impe said. So problem solved. Elizabeth can just kick back and wait to be raptured.
