Stand up, parents

Tue., June 2, 2020

I very much appreciated Julia Ditto’s article about gathering signatures for the Comprehensive Sex Education bill (SB 5395) petitions. She is proof that if the liberal community members would read the bills actually submitted by their Democratic lawmakers, they would see their legislators are deceiving them and would be appalled by the new law.

Individually questioned, the liberal parent will deny he/she want his/her child exposed to much of this embarrassing content, but as a group member lacks the courage to speak against it. Stand up for what you believe like Julia Ditto did; out of her comfort zone, she challenged all of us to pay attention and abide by our conscience.
