ORLANDO, Fla. -- Florida teens who believe drinking a cap of bleach will prevent HIV and a shot of Mountain Dew will stop pregnancy have prompted lawmakers to push for an overhaul of sex education in the state.
Another myth is that Florida teens also believe that smoking marijuana will prevent a person from getting pregnant, Local 6 reported.
State lawmakers said the myths are spreading because of Florida's abstinence-only sex education, Local 6 reported.
They are proposing a bill that would require a more comprehensive approach, the report said.
It would still require teaching abstinence but students would also learn about condoms and other methods of birth control and disease prevention.
Republicanism is authoritarianism. Authoritarianism is control. Control is dictating to other Human Beings not only what they can and cannot do...but what they can and cannot know as well. The willful and purposeful imposition of ignorance, superstition, and fear.
The purpose of this control is to dehumanize human beings into easily manipulated units....units who obey the authoritarians by going to work at an assigned job with no benefit to the worker but subsistence, while the authoritarian boss grows rich off of their labor. Units who hand over a portion of their earnings to support authoritarian wars...and efforts to oppress other units. Units who can be counted on to vote in an assigned way, benefiting authoritarian politician rulers and keeping them in power. Units who are unequipped and unable to think for themselves and thus believe whatever their authoritarian masters tell them...including who to attack for being "different," in other words, for not kowtowing to the authoritarians. Where are these units produced? In schools that are kept underfunded and exist more to program that to educate. The willful and purposeful imposition of ignorance, superstition, and fear. The willful and purposeful stripping away of human free will and dignity.
Republicanism.
Where does this authority come from? Who chooses who is a unit and who is a ruler? Why the ultimate authoritarian of course, God. Whose word can only be interpreted by...the authoritarians in charge of the Church.
Nice work, if you can intimidate and subjugate the populace into falling for it. This is the philosophy that has created our current reality. Ad we can see how THAT is working out.
Humans beings are not sheep, but they can be programmed/educated to become sheep.
To become a "lower class" of human being. That is the goal of Republicanism, producing an elite made up of privileged white males ....with a lower class of humans to serve and obey them. Especially females who are subjugated by having control of their bodies, needed to produce more units, placed under the authority of .....Republican Authoritarians.
