        Nah, just a quick google search. To answer Ty. This won't be in his edition "Puppy Poodle Paradise" - Stark Raving Dad - 4:19pm 3/21/22
        So you have many editions but you're not a subscriber, interesting! [NT] - jimbasil - 4:27pm 3/21/22

  - These dipshits think that if you mention gay people to 3rd graders it might make them gay - Chris94 - 1:16pm 3/21/22
    - How would you explain "queerness" to kids? And why would you make a big deal about it to kids? [NT] - NedoftheHill - 3:04pm 3/21/22
      - You just tell them that some families have two daddies and some have two mommies - Chris94 - 3:30pm 3/21/22
        Start up a liberal/LGBTQ school&do that with your own kids if you choose.Don't normalize it to other - BaronVonZemo - 3:37pm 3/21/22
        You don't need to "normalize" it. It is already normal. Gay people are here to stay. Sorry! [NT] - Chris94 - 3:39pm 3/21/22
        Why tell them that? - NedoftheHill - 10:01pm 3/23/22
        
        Not trying to get rid of anyone.Just not normal to all.Keep your beliefs off of other people's kids. - BaronVonZemo - 4:04pm 3/21/22

        Well, in my defense who the fuck knows with you. - Stark Raving Dad - 4:49pm 3/21/22
        You have no defense, which is why you resort to bitterness, falsehoods and anger, instead of - TyroneIrish - 5:06pm 3/21/22
        Ah yes.... - Stark Raving Dad - 6:09pm 3/21/22
    - It won't make them gay if they're wearing masks. [NT] - Irishize - 1:54pm 3/21/22
    - With all due respect, screw you. You wanna teach the birds and the birds to your kids? Go for it. - Stark Raving Dad - 1:37pm 3/21/22
      - Yes, they will be teaching them about anal and strap-ons. - Chris94 - 1:48pm 3/21/22
        Why would they be talking about people who do those things at all? Why not math or English? [NT] - NedoftheHill - 3:13pm 3/21/22
        
        Great. You conduct the presentation, proper usage with kiddos? [NT] - Stark Raving Dad - 1:59pm 3/21/22
      - Chris enjoys having teachers do his job for him. I can’t tell you how many times - TampaIrish - 1:43pm 3/21/22
        At home you can shelter your kids from all kinds of stuff - Chris94 - 1:51pm 3/21/22

        Do you think parents have a right to make choices like that in raising their kids? [NT] - NedoftheHill - 3:01pm 3/21/22
        Of course not. We know the Left's view on this & heard it voiced by Va school board members. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 3:41pm 3/21/22
        The fact that he won't answer is a bit disturbing. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 7:02pm 3/21/22
        
        Help me out here? How is letting him follow an approved Florida curriculum and keeping him - TampaIrish - 2:15pm 3/21/22
      - It's not being taught - Nigel got it wrong and you are getting it wrong. Just Stop! [NT] - jimbasil - 1:38pm 3/21/22
        My sister taught in Madison for 25yrs- yes it is. Absolutely it is. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 3:43pm 3/21/22
    - The bill should actually read K-12. Leave the whole sex thing to the parents. Or........... - ELP - 1:28pm 3/21/22
  - If teachers don't talk about sex to K-3 kids, then why can't FL ban it to make sure? - Cole - 12:45pm 3/21/22
    - Yes - "If teachers don't talk about sex to K-3 kids, then why should FL invent an issue"? [NT] - jimbasil - 12:50pm 3/21/22
      - How do you know they aren't? Please enlighten me on this. Don't point a question back at me - TampaIrish - 12:51pm 3/21/22
        You make the claim there is sex education being taught in Florida's K - 3. [NT] - jimbasil - 12:56pm 3/21/22
        So, your point is "gay education" is not necessarily "sex education"? [NT] - NedoftheHill - 3:19pm 3/21/22
        Really? I posted the reason for the walkout and how Nigel got it wrong and you post that. Genius. - jimbasil - 3:48pm 3/21/22
        Dodge! You should probably be worried that you can't state your views frankly w/o people laughing. - NedoftheHill - 7:04pm 3/21/22
  - Is this an important issue for you? Talking about sex to kindergartners? [NT] - NedoftheHill - 12:12pm 3/21/22
    - It's absolutely vital for the LBGers to get to the kids as early as possible. - Stark Raving Dad - 12:52pm 3/21/22
      - This is the essence of their push for this. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 3:44pm 3/21/22
      - Exhibit A [NT] - Chris94 - 1:17pm 3/21/22
        Damn right. Stay the fuck away from my kids. [NT] - Stark Raving Dad - 1:20pm 3/21/22
        Teachers? [NT] - jimbasil - 1:33pm 3/21/22
        Politicians. [NT] - Stark Raving Dad - 1:38pm 3/21/22
        So you're saying the State should stop with these stupid pointless bills that only stir rage. [NT] - jimbasil - 1:39pm 3/21/22
        If the bill is stupid and pointless, wouldn't that make the rage equally stupid and pointless? [NT] - iairishcheeks - 2:39pm 3/21/22
        Well, there's no one more clever than you! [NT] - jimbasil - 3:49pm 3/21/22
    - Which issue? [NT] - jimbasil - 12:15pm 3/21/22
      - (rolleyes) Talking about sex to kindergartners, which the bill prohibits. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 12:15pm 3/21/22
        Why would you engage with him? [NT] - notredame678 - 12:45pm 3/21/22
        Valid question. I usually regret it. Funny when he accuses others of dodging a question, though. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 1:08pm 3/21/22
        
        The issue I have a problem with is nigel getting the information incorrect. It's rage for rage sake - jimbasil - 12:20pm 3/21/22
        How would you discuss queerness with a kindergartner without discussing sex? [NT] - NedoftheHill - 1:08pm 3/21/22
        Um, why would I? I'm not a schoolteacher. Are you? - jimbasil - 1:14pm 3/21/22
        Nice dodge, but what does it gain you? How would a teacher discuss queerness w/o discussing sex? - NedoftheHill - 1:20pm 3/21/22
        I've not defended the law or the walkout. I posted the exact reason for the walkout. - jimbasil - 1:32pm 3/21/22
        Not bold enough to take a stand on the issue? Not surprising. - NedoftheHill - 3:04pm 3/21/22
        Who cares what you think? My stance has been, if you post a story, be factual. I corrected his post. - jimbasil - 3:51pm 3/21/22
  - Again, if they want to walk out over this, so be it. If they wish to quit and relocate to a - TampaIrish - 12:04pm 3/21/22
    - The teachers are teaching - what the bill says is, a teacher can't - jimbasil - 12:15pm 3/21/22
      - Do you have kids who go to Florida schools? Know anyone down here who has kids going to Florida - TampaIrish - 12:22pm 3/21/22
        You are desperate to make a point - you haven't one. I corrected Nigel's post - that's all. - jimbasil - 12:27pm 3/21/22
        And they have the right to walk out. So be it, if they don't like, find another - TampaIrish - 12:41pm 3/21/22
        "they have the right to walk out." [NT] - jimbasil - 12:50pm 3/21/22
        "and if they don't like it, find another state to live". Maybe a - TampaIrish - 12:52pm 3/21/22
        Or you could move - Seeing that's how you feel. [NT] - jimbasil - 12:56pm 3/21/22
        Nope. I'm quite happy with my Republican state. These people that aren't happy can get the fuck - TampaIrish - 1:00pm 3/21/22
  - As predicted, there are actually people who defend this. God bless you. [NT] - Nigel Tufnel - 11:56am 3/21/22
    - As predicted, you can't get anything correct. I gave you the bill and the reason for the walkout. - jimbasil - 12:04pm 3/21/22
      - There is nothing incorrect in my post - absolutely nothing. You are proving my point. - Nigel Tufnel - 12:38pm 3/21/22
        "in protest over the company’s response to the FL bill that prohibits the teaching of gender - jimbasil - 12:55pm 3/21/22
- Disney's CEO egged this on. He gets what he deserves. [NT] - Cole - 11:49am 3/21/22
  - He showed weakness and invited this. You'd think a CEO would know better. - NedoftheHill - 12:11pm 3/21/22
- Let them walk out. As you stated, this is for grades K-3. Why would teachers feel the need to have - TampaIrish - 11:46am 3/21/22
- Are they walking out to protest the bill or to protest relocating the imagineers? - LanceManion - 11:39am 3/21/22
