NPS rejects 2nd draft of health education standards – News Channel Nebraska

“What will keep the state from making it mandatory later?” Joan Davis a concerned grandparent asked. “Any of us, I mean my age, I’m 60 I’ve been around a while, you see this encroaching of government control. I don’t want the state to decide what my grandchildren are going to be taught. I know we are not going to get away from the LGBTQ community or people choosing to live that way. That is their individual choice. All I want to say is that I am against being taught these standards and the effect it will have…we’ve heard a lot about the bullying and how the other kids will feel, but what about these other kids that have been sexually abused, who have been hurt by other grown-ups, other kids? I think the sexualization is going to encourage sexual activity, this is, again, a big, big concern of mine.”
