This Session, the Legislature passed House Bill 1313 to require schools to subject children to anti-abortion propaganda about fetuses. HB 1313 forbade schools from giving kids information from any organization that “performs abortions, promotes abortion,” or has any connection with any abortion provider or advocate, meaning schools can’t get their information from hospitals or most medical professionals. And they absolutely cannot offer their students my friendly reminder that fetuses have no rights and that all rights related to pregnancy accrue to the mother.
The state Board of Education Standards has thus endorsed two choices for schools to propagandize their students into fetus-worship:
- a 42-minute video that costs $15 plus $29 shipping from the Endowment for Human Development, a group that professes “neutrality regarding all controversial bioethical issues” but has received the National Right to Life org’s full-throated endorsement; or
- two 3-minute videos, available free and online, one from Britannica.com and one from deceitfully indoctrinating anti-abortion crusaders Live Action.
42 minutes versus 6 minutes, $44 versus free… I think we know which option schools will choose to satisfy this latest big-government mandate.
And hey, teachers, if you choose the two short videos, you’ll have time left over to correct the propaganda and remind the girls in your class that their bodies are their own, regardless of what their oppressive government tells them. Or maybe just read passages from The Handmaid’s Tale.
It’s all related: a medical industry oligopoly, gender dysphoria, polluted waterways, subsidized agriculture, absence of medical insurance, cancer and an Earth hating legislature on the dole. But, applaud the nutball Republican efforts diverting attention from the party’s culture of corruption where murders and their covers up are commonplace by clogging the legislative session with christianic religionist argle-bargle.
