It's not a solution to the problem they say they're looking to solve. It's more government control, it's big brother, it's everything they say they don't want, so it's obviously exactly what they wanted.
Yeah, the moral scandal of shouting that kids are being exposed to sex is just too effective at enabling all kinds of overreach.
But if you say that sex education, teaching about consent and risks and how to seek help, is far more effective at protecting children than any sort of censorship, they'll act doubly scandalized. And parents who don't want to talk about sensitive matters with their precious little angels fall for it every time.
It's definitely double ungood.
