Oh, and i object to the idea that Political Conservatives teach their kids about sex differently from Political Liberals... This is a societal issue, not a political one... and in my experience most American parents are simply scared to talk about sex with their kids because they've been taught by American Society (both Liberal AND Conservative) that sex is BAD... TABOO... NOT to be talked about!
While I was born in America, and generally raised here, I traveled as a teen - to Europe, Africa, and in my early 20's, Asia... THAT is where I learned about sex and sex education. Sadly, NOT from my own parents!
I learned MORE about how to teach children about sex when I took parenting classes - ICYMI: I was a foster parent and adopted & raised 8 children from foster care, in addition to one biological child of my own...
When I have sex with someone for the first time - and they're American - I almost ALWAYS have to tell them - repeatedly - "tell me if you like this". When my new partner is non-American, I mostly DO NOT have to say this - because they do it WITHOUT being prompted!

I don't have children and I wouldn't comment on anyone else's but when it comes to sex education, there are three sources:
A) parents
B) teachers
C) their peers
D) the internetA would think that most parents would prefer as much of A and B to counter the unrealism and misinformation of C and D as possible.
If the subject is dildos, BDSM and kink, the same applies.
Strangely conservatives routinely object to both A and B as we can see in @raphjd's replies.
Typical liberal has no problem with teaching preschoolers about "kink".

Silly @raphjd - you edited your quoting (poorly) and attributed that list to me... it came from @Shami94
Is that FRAUD? Or INCOMPETENCE? Or just an honest mistake...
I'll let the "Gentle Readers" decide on their own...

WTF are you talking about?
Sorry girlfriend, you aint the only liberal here and you aint that special.
Not everything is about you.

Yes, I don't have a problem with parents teaching kids about kink because it's none of my business what parents teach their kids (about sex).
The typical conservative. "I don't want the government to interfere in my life but hey, look at those people, the government should interfere in their lives!"
-
Funny how you ignored one of your own wanting to teach preschoolers about kink.
She WAS a teacher, not a parent.

@raphjd What? You still don't understand that the story you originally posted was fake?
AND, both stories, the fake one and the real one that the fake one was based on are about a PARENT teaching THEIR children.
AND, if you read the top left corner of both the fake and real stories, you will see that the forum is "PARENTING". The whole fact that you posted this fake topic in the first place shows that you think you have the right to have an opinion on what parents teach their children about sex.

What?! You don't understand that there is a very real story about a preschool teacher who made TikTok videos who talked about teaching toddlers about genitals and asked on Twitter what kind of permission slip she would need to teach the toddlers in her care about kink.
She has since been fired.
This was all in the last month.
While this article (OP) may have been altered, the other one is completely real.
3 teachers in 2 weeks have been fired for teaching kids things they have no business bringing into the classroom.

@raphjd Yes, picking extreme examples and assigning them to “liberals” is transparently part of the new conservative project to tear down education; part of the defining conservative project to deny, hide from and discredit facts and fact based theories that falsify their stagnant, simplistic, nostalgic and usually hate filled ideologies.
There are a lot of things that teachers SHOULD be teaching their students: e.g. the theory of evolution, climate change, diversity of gender and sexuality, the fallacy of trickle-down economics, the safety and effectiveness of vaccines and not least (in English speaking countries), English grammar.
For example that:
“The customer called. They said that they’re coming in this afternoon to pick up their order. Please thank them for their patience.”
Is normal and correct English grammar and that we use the pronouns “they/their/them” for a single person ALL THE TIME.
Conservative parent: “I’m not going to call THESE gender binary people they/their/them. That’s not correct grammar for a single person!”
Son: “But mommy, we do it all the time. (Quotes example)”.
Conservative parent: “But but but… that’s only when we don’t know what gender they are, not when they don’t know what gender they are!”
Son: “Ooooooh kaaaaaaay.”
Also, they should be taught some critical thinking:
Conservative mother: “I agree with that Harry Potter woman. Trans women aren’t really women because they’ve never experienced menstruation!”
Daughter: “But don’t 1 in 3000 cis gender women never menstruate?”
Conservative mother: “but but but but but but but but but but…”.

Just checking in to see how raphjd's personal echo chamber is going. It's been a while but I see it hasn't changed.
It's the same: Some factless conspiracy-theory piece gets posted, and then when it's debunked, he devolves into insults because because there's no rational response to the truth. It's driven many people away from not only this forum group, but the forums in general. (Some of the latter effect might be due to the crappy new interface put up several months ago.)
Sometimes I wonder if it's all a satirical caricature. Nobody with a double-digit IQ could really believe some of the stuff that gets posted.
