Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I remember when I was around 13-14 years old we had sex education class and we had to put a condom on a dildo. We all thought it was great fun.
This isn’t really related to whatever this woman is talking about, she’s probably just making shit up, but it just reminded me of that and I thought I’d share.
Probably?
Definitely, without question, 100% guaranteed.
To give her the benefit of the doubt, (which you shouldn’t - I am a trained pedantry professional, please do not try this at home!) you could imagine that she saw a particularly young looking 14 year old learning to put a condom onto a dildo and being very bad at estimating the ages of kids, thought they were 8, and also misinterpreted the lesson as being about how to use sex toys rather than about safe sex.
Of course, I know fine well that this isn’t what happened. This woman is just spreading anti-LGBTQ+ hate, and it’s also very possible that she’s projecting. Even if she isn’t a pedophile, she is still a danger to kids, especially LGBTQ+ kids.
Hahaha, teachers HATED that day at our school because they then handed out free condoms... Which everyone just attached to car exhausts in the staff parking lot.
Ah, at our school we weren’t directly given free condoms, just told about how we could access them. So of course a bunch of kids got some free condoms which encouraged lively discussion around what flavours were the best before some of them inevitably ended up as balloons.
