While the MAT clinic and corona virus monopolized the attention of many local residents, below, you will find an example of last week’s Democrat destruction to Washington State, traditional American values, and our Judeo-Christian culture. This is a partial list of over 200 proposed, quite reasonable, but rejected Republican amendments to the Comprehensive Sex Education (CSE) Bill. The Washington Votes website https://www.washingtonvotes.org/ reports Republicans submitted over 200 amendments to this CSE bill that passed on a 56-40 party line vote.
If you need documentation to believe Democrat intend to indoctrinate their agenda or doubt their totalitarian nature, I believe no doubt will remain after reviewing this list.
Parents may opt their children out of the CSE, but many parents are insufficiently unaware of the harmful CSE perversion and indoctrination. Rep. Jim Walsh’s Leg. Assistant checked and said the requirement for parents to attend an HIV session before opting out children does not currently exist, but might be added to SB5395 at last minute or school district could require this.
