Whatever a RAT proposes always has unintended consequences that they have not thoroughly thought through.

A Massachusetts bill that recommended teaching children as young as 12 about oral and anal sex failed in the state House last week amid growing public outrage.
The College Fix reports state Senate Bill 2128 passed the state Senate but died in the House last week when the legislative session ended.
The bill seemed harmless enough at first. It would have required public schools to provide “comprehensive” sex education that is medically accurate and age-appropriate. This included “the benefits of abstinence and delaying sexual activity” and “the effective use of contraceptives and barrier methods.”
However, Andrew Beckwith, president of the Massachusetts Family Institute, examined the bill closely and discovered the “age-appropriate” recommendations were more than what they seemed.
He found that one of the recommended curricula was “Get Real,” published by Planned Parenthood. The middle school program teaches children as young as 12 “how to perform oral and anal sex,” Beckwith wrote at the New Boston Post in July.
He continued:
Not satisfied with merely introducing the concept of certain non-reproductive sex acts, “Get Real” goes on to teach twelve-year-olds in eye-watering detail how to properly use a “dental dam,” which is “placed over the vulva … or anus during oral sex.” Concerned that your seventh-grader might not have a “dental dam” handy? No problem. State education officials and Planned Parenthood want your child to know they can “also use non-microwavable saran wrap.” [This reference also happens to dilute S.C. Johnson & Son’s trademark.] When the nation’s largest abortion provider tells young children to make their own prophylactics at home out of kitchen implements, that ought to concern us.
Beckwith pointed out that the age of consent for sexual activity in Massachusetts is 16 – “so why would we want to mandate teaching children four years younger than that about an act which the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recognizes as one of the riskiest sexual behaviors?”
Another recommended curriculum that Beckwith discovered included a 20-minute workshop about masturbation.
“Why in the world would legislators want to take that authority out of the hands of their constituents and give it to bureaucrats at the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education who think 12-year-olds should act like porn stars?” he wrote.
Thankfully, state lawmakers listened to concerned parents and did not.
SIGN THE PETITION! Congress Must De-Fund Planned Parenthood Immediately
Planned Parenthood teaches sex education to at least 221,000 students in 31 states, according to CBS News.
But the abortion giant is losing ground. Earlier this year, parents’ massive protests prompted a North Carolina school board to reject Planned Parenthood’s sex education program in its middle schools.
Concerned parents in Pennsylvania, Michigan, California, Washington state, New York and other parts of the country also have protested Planned Parenthood’s involvement in their students’ education in the past year.
In 2017, President Donald Trump’s administration cut taxpayer funding to one of Planned Parenthood’s sex education programs. HHS spokesman Mark Vafiades told the New York Times last year that there is very little evidence that the Teen Pregnancy Prevention program was successful. The abortion chain is suing to block the cuts.
Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion chain in the United States, aborting more than 320,000 unborn babies every year. Its sex education programs have been criticized for promoting risky sexual behavior to vulnerable young teens and tweens.
In 2014, Live Action release an undercover video series showing Planned Parenthood employees encouraging young teens to participate in sado-masochistic sexual activities, including gagging, whipping, asphyxiation, shopping at sex stores and viewing pornography.
LifeNews also reported Planned Parenthood’s booklet for HIV-positive youth, “Healthy, Happy and Hot,” tells young people that it is their “human right” to not tell their partner that they have HIV.
The abortion giant also publishes multiple “resources” for children and teenagers concerning sexual activity. These materials claim to provide “age appropriate” sex education to children starting at age 4.

I haven’t noticed a correlation between perversion and lack of religion. So many of the child abusers and other sexual deviants that I’ve been aware of throughout my life have been outspokenly religious - some even priests - I’ve seen no evidence that belief in God has anything to do with it.
My strong but decidedly non-deviant sex drive seems to be something I inherited - and which I have no inclination to deviate from - despite my relatively agnostic views toward religion.
What the heck is wrong with Massachusetts?
More sexual behaviour means more unwanted babies...means more abortions...and more monetary opportunities for planned infanticide. Its a racket.PP needs to be destroyed.
Have you ever checked the percentage of people who were not religous who were known sex offenders with the percentage of known sex offender who were “religious”? I.havent but i guess the non religious would have a much higher percentage....anybody on this site have any citations? Would be very helpful.
GREAT !!!
I would have an employee who can do all kids of kinky sex using kitchen supplies,,,,,,,,,,,,,
but cannot write Cursive-—read-—do math-—or show up properly clean & dressed for a day’s work.
So Impressive.....
I’m not sure what that has to do with any of it.
The bible tells us of “a form of religion, but denying its power.” You can have all the religion in the world but no God with yourself.
Do not make false equivalencies. Look at what I said. I did not say “with no religion.” I said “with no God.”
Bingo.
What is NOW?

“Do not make false equivalencies. Look at what I said. I did not say “with no religion.” I said “with no God.”
Look at what I said: “I’ve seen no evidence that belief in God has anything to do with it.”
I’ve never seen an actual study, nor do I think it would be possible - for one thing you’d have to take people’s word for it as to how religious they were.
I’m just saying that given the epidemic of pedophile priests molesting alter boys, it’s just silly to claim godlessness is the root cause of sexual deviation.
And then look at what else you said. You went on as if to equate religion to belief in God (at least in the sense that I intend). The way you carried on spoke louder than what you claimed you said.
Or could I put it another way. Look at how people who go to church act. Some act as though it is to say hello and goodbye to God in the sanctuary. Others act as though it is to share the God they already know as a constant presence in their daily lives, with a group of people.
The first is a mere religion. The second is the kind of faith in God I mean, and yes that has a profound effect and there is copious evidence that it does.
Symbolic godliness might in fact be MORE vulnerable, not LESS, to the problem.
The bible already tells us why.
And yes, with some wise investigation you could find out more. “Did you do something kind for a neighbor or a stranger because you believe in God? How often?” would work pretty well, as long as the answers were honest (and granted, they might not be). Acting out of love will get a person doing things that person might be perfunctory about if they are acting out of guilt or out of show.
And if that doesn’t help you... well, I tried. That’s all I can hope to do, is to try.
But it’s not a meaningless question. It’s easy for institutions to put up with the perfunctory superficial. But that means people who do “religion” out of their head, rather than their heart, can sneak in too. Can every case of an impostor be caught? No. But many could, with a church comprising more conscientious people.
It was never my intention to argue belief systems with you.
I simply wanted to remind you that many of us who are of the agnostic persuasion nevertheless have a strong moral compass, and that there are many God fearing people who do not appear to have a strong moral compass, such as the hundreds of pedophile priests.
Of course, those who believe in a god also tend to believe all good must come from that god, and would therefore naturally reject the the idea that an agnostic like me could have a strong moral compass. Yet I do.
Upon further reflection, I see that I was probably wasting my time suggesting such a thing.
Well, except you did. Why are you surprised I did the bible thing?
Your own airy world, based on your own self exaltation, has nothing to do with a Catholic or other Christian world. “God fearing” is not God fearing when it only happens in certain contexts, not in the whole life. Institutions have been sloppy about attending to this, but the bible doesn’t advise such sloppiness, quite the opposite.
Well yes, you will not feed me agnosticism. Agnosticism never did dozens of supernatural things that I directly witnessed.
