I think this’d be what the kids today call “saying the quiet part out loud”…
…except it’s really saying the part they keep yelling at the top of their lungs, even louder, really.
Senator Erin Maye Quade thinks parents shouldn’t be bringing their children up with any sense of basic morality when it comes to sex:
That’s right – just cast them out into the world, and let the teachers and Planned Parenthood do the teaching for you.
Which will help keep the meat coming through the doors at Planned Parenthood, who most generously supports her political career (and, one suspects, will be providing amply for her when she one day “retires from politics”).
Please, is there somebody who will offer her an “early retirement buy-out”? The sooner she is gone, the less damage she will have done.
What a POS! She should not be a parent! I’m thinking about an anonymous tip to child protection services.
We need a guy like this to run for governor in Minnesota.

Well, Quade seems to have lost the creepy rictus grin she used to sport, but the horrifying verbiage continues to flow. Point of order; on what grounds should Quade’s worldview be considered to rule over the judgment of parents?
OK, so it’s wrong to say when one ought to have sex–or since she refers to abstinence, when one ought not have sex–and transitively, I think that she’s in effect saying parents shouldn’t tell their kids who they ought to, or ought not to, meet in bed.
What Quade is saying, in effect is “young person, ignore the fact that there is such a thing as statutory rape, that there is such a thing as unwanted pregnancy, and there are such things as incurable sexually transmitted diseases that can maim or even kill you. Let your freak flag fly, and don’t worry about the consequences.”
She hates kids.
Heading toward Brave New World where nine and ten-year-old kids played Centrifugal Bumblepuppy in the nude to teach them that they don’t have control of their bodies and that only complicated games that need a lot of technology are fun.
When my son was 17, I found a pack on condoms in his truck.
“Glad to see you are taking care of business,” I told him, “but park the truck in the garage and give me the keys. You will get them back in a month.”
“What the heck, that doesn’t make sense!”
“Welcome to the world of parenting”

At what age do Democrats believe young people are sufficiently mature to make wise decisions about incurring a lifetime of non dischargeable debt called student loan? 18.
And to make rational and intelligent decisions about acquiring a pistol or assault rifle? 21. Get their own health insurance? 25?
Start having sex to take a chance of STD HIV or pregnancy? 6? 12? 15? What are they supposed to do about sex until then?
Wading into the comments section, I saw the predictably “nuanced” “logic” from her supporters: They’d cite this study or that showing that students receiving abstinence-only education ended up with higher rates of pregnancy. Predictably, they’d mock and belittle Republicans getting their moral guidance from an “obsolete, 2000-year-old book”.
Interesting: That 2000-year-old book contains the only documentation that I’m aware of a single instance of a woman effectively practicing abstinence and still getting pregnant.
Looks like the deep thinkers that likely form a chunk of Ms. Maye Quade’s base genuinely believe there is a causative relationship between the education and the pregnancy rates ,and not a correlative relationship perhaps with abstinence-only education and those higher pregnancy rates. A correlation that fails to show other socio-economic factors that show the teens getting pregnant are not abstaining. In other words, is it a failure of the education? Or the teens to learn lessons from it?
