“An amendment added by Coody would prevent any funds from being used for abortion counseling or sex education in schools. House Democratic Leader Scott Inman of Oklahoma City suggested that the bill ignores the root causes of abortions in the state, including poverty and inadequate health care.”
Once again republicans are wrong and democrats are correct.
And once again we see conservatives seeking to increase the size and authority of government in an effort to compel conformity with their errant, wrongheaded, subjective beliefs through force of law.
It is not government's role to dictate to citizens of any age how to believe concerning personal, private issues; rather, students should be encouraged to decide for themselves in accordance with their own good conscience and belief, and to respect the beliefs of others with whom they might disagree.
Instead Oklahoma republicans wish to foster intolerance and arrogance; this measure is being pursued in bad faith – its purpose is to indoctrinate, not educate.
It's not the school's role to teach anything to kids about sex education. Once again, Democrats want the schools doing the job of the parents and have a problem with one side does something along those lines. Oklahoma Republicans expect parents to do their jobs not someone in the public realm. Good job.
