2/4/19 discussion about Colorado's 2019 comprehensive sex education bill

Here is the link to my February 4, 2019, Twitter thread discussion about the first committee hearings for the 2019 bill regarding updates to Colorado's policy on sex education.

The 2019 bill aimed to make sex education comprehensive, scientific, equitable, and inclusive of the concept of consent.

Folks who fought against the bill -- hundreds of conservatives, all called to protest the bill at the committee meetings -- all claimed the bill essentially promoted pedophilia. Some of the conservatives at the committee meetings even called some of the legislators supporting the bills pedophiles.

I didn't attend any of these committee meetings. I didn't actually know about the first ones until it was too late. However, the events surrounding this bill influenced my thinking a lot, all the way through to today.

Twitter's platform has twisted each of my threads through 2018 and 2019 out of chronological order. This thread is very affected, and is only somewhat coherent. My apologies.

Thank you for reading. Please enjoy.
