A federal judge in Washington on Wednesday blocked the Trump administration’s recent changes to the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program, which hit groups around the country that teach classes on healthy relationships, abstinence and contraception.

The Trump administration, he wrote “is perfectly entitled to formulate its own views about how to stem teen pregnancy — or even whether it is worth preventing at all — and to pursue policy initiatives consistent with its viewpoint. But it is not at liberty, under the Administrative Procedure Act (“APA”), to impose conditions on grant recipients that Congress did not intend or that are unreasonable or unexplained.”

    This debate is completely lost on me.

    Someone was trying to explain that the reason she sends her kids to a private school is because she doesn’t want them to learn about sex when they’re too young.

    I don’t get it.

    I genuinely don’t see the problem with kids knowing everything their curious minds want to know about reproduction.

    She said they’re too young to process it. I think she means they’re too young to process the weird moral overlay she wants them to adopt.

        These people don’t like discomfort. They don’t like to step out of their little bubble. Thats why they work to get rid of anything that makes them uncomfortable, like queer people, black people, ect. They don’t want to accept that kids grow into adults and they themselves are just uncomfortable talking about sex so what comes out is “j-just don’t, ok?”
