    I wonder if she knows that it’s already illegal?

    Or is she just salty that priests are the ones being arrested?

      I think she does - the bill is about materials being sent home with kids from schools that include sodomy or grooming or the incredibly vague ‘lgbt agenda’

      It’s designed so that instead of banning books individually, they can just sue for anything they don’t like.

      The headline makes it sound ridiculous - and in a way it is, of course - but it’s potentially dangerous. I don’t know how much sway her organisation has, if it’s big or niche. Hopefully zero

      Except that by “groom kids with sodomy,” she means “teach them that queer people exist and that they’re normal people.”

        Yeah, there’s that.

        They like changing definitions. Though, if we’re gonna talk about groomers, she’s more likely to be one than drag or LGBTQ, and it ain’t even close.

          Definitely. You don’t hear stories about drag queens committing sexual assault against children.

          You hear a lot of stories of religious figures doing it though…

      No she’s just an idiot with an agenda. Her propaganda software is just stuck in a recursion loop.

    I want a law that says that “men of the cloth” should be sentenced identically to “regular people” and that any attempts at shuffling those types to other churches should be abetting a criminal, again being pressed to the full extent of the law.

    I think the feds should get involved any time anyone grooms children for any sexual act. But I think her and I firmly disagree on where each counts

    Conservatives need to come up with a better tactic than banning things that are already illegal.

      It is illegal, you’re right, but they want to destroy the legal definitions of many things so that they can write new ones. So suddenly, teaching kids about how their bodies work becomes “grooming”. Being anything other than a straight white Christian male makes you a “sex offender”. Reading anything other than the Bible to kids is “indoctrination”, and so on.

      They’ve spent many years and billions of dollars studying the power of language and ideas. They have framing the issues from their perspective down to an art form. If you control what words mean, you control debate and democracy.

    How do we address the alphabet mafia? You know, the LGBTQRSTD. …

    STD? Maybe she thinks Gomorrah is a venereal disease?

      Even worse is that she looks like a terribly done knock off wax statue

      Probably is part wax with the amount of caked on makeup they’re using

    The incessant grooming of our children will never stop until we lock up every single pastor and shutter every church in this country.
