Fresno Unified sex-ed battle: Small minds think alike
Well, there you go. Brooke Ashjian for some “moral” reason, disagrees with FUSD’s decision to allow an anonymous, voluntary survey about the state of sex education to be distributed to high school students.
What a surprise. This is the same person who railed against the so-called LGBTQ agenda and insinuated being gay isn’t biological. This is the same person who wailed and gnashed his teeth about the lack of Judeo-Christian values being instilled in all of our children. This is the same person who equated criticism like these written words with genocide.
Ashjian is evidently more concerned with his brand of morality being imposed on Fresno’s school-age children than he is with the alarming number of teen pregnancies happening. Somehow, in his mind, those numbers have nothing to do with a failed curriculum and everything to do with a failed, Godless society.
And, now, the Pacific Justice Institute is involved. The same outfit that offered to defend the city if it was sued over its decision to allow the words In God We Trust to be mounted inside the council chambers is inserting itself in this debate.
See a trend here? Small minds think alike.
