Groomers hate sex ed, because it eliminates the ignorance they need to exploit in order to lure in their victims.
If kids don't know they're being abused, they can't tell on their abusers. Gotta ask why the right wing is so vehemently against empowering children.
We don't have to ask that at all, it's pretty obvious actually.
I guess I wish more public figures would ask that.
Right there with ya buddy....
In a series of videos shared in private Facebook groups, Pedersen is seen standing among bushes across the street from the Alberta Teachers’ Association head office in Edmonton. The videos are filmed at night time and Pedersen is illuminating her face with a flashlight.
“I’m in a very special place,” Pedersen tells viewers in one video. “I am standing in front of the Alberta Teachers’ Association. Why am I standing here?"
Because you're a goddamn lunatic?
People who want to feel like they're special by spreading shit online when they're more of the back-of-the-bus variety special...
I think you mean short bus. Or the front. The back was where the cool kids sat.
How many is these convoy dudes are the former "cool kids" who have since grown a beer gut and are yearning for the popularity/attention of their high school glory days?
The extreme right hates sex education because it makes children far more difficult to sexually abuse.
Someone needs to bring signs that say GROOMERS AGAINST EDUCATION
Pedocon theory is a theory like the theory of gravity is a theory.
A theory is a well-substantiated explanation of an aspect of the natural world that can incorporate laws, hypotheses and facts.
Well gravity isn't a theory at all, it's a law.
Perhaps you're getting gravity confused with evolution?
A theory is a well-substantiated explanation of an aspect of the natural world that can incorporate laws, hypotheses and facts. The theory of gravitation, for instance, explains why apples fall from trees and astronauts float in space. Similarly, the theory of evolution explains why so many plants and animals—some very similar and some very different—exist on Earth now and in the past, as revealed by the fossil record.
I don't want those fuckers anywhere near my kids. Not only are they fucking nuts, but this is the kind of shit that always winds up with a bunch of pedos "protecting the children"
Those people are what mental illness look like.
Literally every one of these concern trolling groups hides an actual predator or ten. The rest are all apologists or guilty of other forms of emotional abuse and neglect.
Another astroturf event incoming. Will we see perfectly choreographed videos of 50 people with identical half-full gas cans "spontaneously" showing up in support this time too?
Another convoy?
Guys, time to lay out some spikes, run up and slash tires/bust windows just fuck they shit up. Direct action. Fat ass truckers can't catch you.
Or go harder than that.
Property damage is peak direct action. No matter how terrible these people are, many of them have innocent family members who would be affected if they were physically harmed.
Yay ignorance!
Go do a search for "youth pastor crimes". Prepare to be very upset. You will find pages of sexual abuse crimes against children.
Man, PWEI really nailed it in the 90s with Ich Bien Ein Auslander's lyrics.
"It can't happen here". Oh yeah?
"Take a look around at the cities and the towns."
See them hunting, creeping, sneaking
Breeding fear and loathing with the lies they're speaking
The knife, the gun, broken bottle, petrol bomb
There is no future when the past soon come.
As a trans woman, that song has been coming to mind an awful lot these last few years.
Will you speak out?
Will you defend me?
Freedom of expression doesn't make it alright!
Trampled under foot by the rise of the right
Fucking nutters.
You will know them by their inbreeding.
Sex ed ain't for them kissin' cousin Coutts folk.
(Edit: at least 2 folk are their own aunt/uncle)
Oh man, now we need to get signs that say "Kissin' Cousins Convoy!".
My sister-mother is my lover.
This is part of the "base" that Squinty McProudBoy has assembled. If you love trump and hate women then PP and his base of assholes are your people.
These idiots can be heard as soon as they finish a high-school sexual health exam.
I'm willing to bet that all of them would fail spectacularly.
Gotta keep up with our big brother America, can't let them out-stupid us
Followed shortly afterwards by a fervent speech against clean drinking water.
vandalize their car.
I mean id probably be good if we waited until hs or college to teach gender identity. Middle school or prior is too early, too confusing for kids who have the misfortune (like me) of maturing very early thanks to GMO foods. Sure teach everyone to not impregnate eachother, but stop at biologics with children.
After reading this comment section I will say that the term far-right is misused so much (thanks headline writer). I am someone who, for example, thinks abortion should be legal, yet that we shouldn’t be teaching kids that if their emotions are strong enough that they should commit to cross dressing and surgeries. Not to say the trans community is entirely con artists, only that they should wait until people are closer to adulthood and therefore more mature before they make permanent decisions.
As it sits the trans movements’ momentum relies heavily on indoctrination of kids, and its sad and alarming that these ideas are not as persuasive to older people. We should not stand behind ideologies that make less sense as we mature, especially in publicly funded school systems. We should teach the oldest ideas to the youngest people, not the other way around.
At college though, we should certainly teach the newest ideas to the now older people. Including trans theory
This person is an exaple of using logic sounding words to spread hatred.
Flowery words doesn't change the fact you think trans people are grooming and indoctrinating. Please, shut the fuck up.
@wedleeneeber @grte lol, get stuffed.
Also, GMO foods have nothing to do with the onset of puberty. That's not how any of this works.
That was my favorite part of their bigoted and idiotic post. They probably fancy themselves as highly intelligent too lol
And if puberty were to set in earlier wouldn't they need to k.ow sooner rather than later?
I mean id probably be good if we waited until hs or college to teach gender identity.
Children are bombarded by gender norms long before they stop using diapers… so you can’t really mean ‘gender identity’ here. Presumably you mean “nobody should learn about transgender identities until high school or maybe college”.
I assume, much like the many people who realize they are gay or lesbian earlier in adolescence, that many transgendered individuals also realize or suspect their gender status early in adolescence as well. It’s rather cruel to hide away information like this at the time when it is especially relevant… just as it would be cruel to not teach about periods until many girls have already started them (another bright inspiration brought to us by social conservatives). Rather than being isolated in the dark, children should be supported as they grow into their own individuals.
Motherfuckers wield the word "indoctrination" like a bludgeon, hoping that nobody notices they've been beating down everyone in the world with their own indoctrination since time immemorial.
The hiding is done to intentionally harm LBGT kids
maturing very early thanks to GMO foods.
Stop fear mongering over GMO foods. This is completely untrue and GMO foods have been found safe repeatedly.
If you're gonna spout nonsense at least provide a source.
If you think sex ed should be delayed until it's literally TOO FUCKING LATE, then you are actually far right and just don't admit it. I don't give a shit what your other beliefs are. "High school or college"? You're trolling, right?
Do you have any idea how many kids literally kill themselves because nobody ever told them it was actually okay (as in, incredibly common, and not a mental illness or abomination) to feel like that? And those that actually make it through into their twenties and beyond suffer lifelong serious emotional damage just from the ostracization, even IF they decide to conform (some would say especially if).
Your idiotic archaic notions of denying them the power to know and choose for themselves is the real indoctrination, and that shit actually KILLS kids.
We must've have no tolerance for intolerance. Trans rights are human rights.
Children must know it's normal to have different gender expression, both for themselves and for others. Kids are literally dying because of hate, bigotry, and bullying.
Stop perpetuating ignorance and hate.
