Friendly reminder that the VAST MAJORITY of Americans support sex ed and the minority who don't are suspicious creeps.

The reason a vocal minority opposes sex education is because they prefer their victims ignorant of the crimes being committed against them

A post from "cishetsbeingcishet" on Tumblr

genuinely so fucking tired of people leveraging the "groomer" argument against people who support sex ed because scientific literature over decades shows that comprehensive sex education starting around kindergarten actually prevents children from being sexually abused and groomed because it teaches children the correct words for their body parts and also teaches them concepts of privacy, personal space, bodily autonomy, the difference between appropriate and inappropriate touching, and the fact that sex is something that only adults do. children with this knowledge are not only better equipped to identify abuse and predatory behavior and communicate that its happening to a trusted adult, but also prevent it from happening in the first place by recognizing when something is happening that shouldn't.

sex education does not sexualize children, it prevents children from being sexualized.

anyone who is against early foundational sex education and claims they are doing it to protect children is a fucking liar.

This is bullshit. They may want to call it sex ed but we know what this really is: propaganda

Suppressing birth control information (for girls), scaremongering about masturbation (for boys), it’s the kind of sex ed that Anthony Comstock stood for until his dying day (in 1915)

Texas State Senator Tom Hall is a charlatan with a malicious agenda: control women’s bodies. Don’t be fooled by the weaponized ignorance. That’s why he and his peers (looking at you GOP) fight so hard to restrict sex education. Because the less you know, the more they can control you. #SexEdForAll
