The Texas Republican Party on Saturday adopted two new party platform planks aimed at barring the teaching of sex and sexuality in schools while simultaneously calling on schools to teach the 'dignity of the preborn human.'

The display at the Texas Alliance for Life booth illustrates the development of a fetus during the Republican Party of Texas 2022 convention at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston on Friday, June 17, 2022., our daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.

Elsewhere, the GOP platform also added that Texas students should learn about the “dignity of the preborn human” and that life begins at fertilization. Critics say that booklet, written by the state, includes scientifically unsupported claims and shames women seeking abortion care. During the last regular legislative session, Rep. Steve Toth, R-The Woodlands, filed a bill that defined personhood at fertilization and would provide due process to a fetus. The bill died in committee.

Some women’s health advocates and public education leaders criticized the policies as harmful and discriminatory and questioned the legality of barring the teaching of gender and sexuality in schools.

republicans: We're the party of FREEDOM and SMALL GOVERNMENT. 'uNLesS wE DoNt LikE iT' Hypocrites. Each and every one.

Texas: proudly grooming the most ignorant population in the country.

Republican groomers openly and unapologetically want to make Texas a safe haven for pedophiles, by keeping kids uninformed, ignorant, and easy prey. The other part of the tweet is about 'increasing the baby supply,' meaning more children for those Republicans to sexually abuse.

More dead children.

I've nailed 11 predators of children this month. All trump chumps. 8 were baptists. 4 were after little boys. This hypocrisy is staggering.

Honestly, why aren't you in Uvalde getting answers on why the parents aren't able to speak out?

This is insane.

They are going way off the spectrum.

Why are Republicans so afraid of facts? If you are a sensible human being, this stuff should concern you. When lawmakers want to start controlling what you can read, see or learn, there are obviously ulterior motives involved.

Sounding more and more like a cult than a political party.

Forced Sharia Law

So it’s back to reading Playboy under the blankets with a flashlight

How do they think you get a “pre born human” if not by having sex?

Leighisblue What about the dignity of school children? Forgot that bullet point?

It makes it a lot easier for child sexual abusers to operate when children are left uneducated. The most vulnerable children will be most victimized. The Goal here is to remove the mandatory reporter's ability to build trusting relationships with the children.
