"Senator Maxwell you said you wanted to add "consent education" to the curriculum? What classes are going to get cut out so that can be pushed into the schedule-or do you plan to make the whole schoolday even longer?"

[Tectonix]

"My apologies for not clarifying. Although school districts are not uniform on what they call as 'sex education,' which is sometimes referred to as 'health' or 'sex ed,' its curriculum will be amended so it will focus on what I just mentioned on consent. I'm afraid I cannot offer any more details than that, seeing as the bill is still not finalized, though I assure you I'll call in the moment I get that information. You can ask me of my personal opinion of this amended curriculum, though. I am not here to palter."

[Tallahassee News Station]

"So Sex ed isn't going to be about "safe sex", or STDs, or any of that any more, just consent?"

[Tectonix]

"No, the curriculum will only be amended so consent will be presented to the students, but the standard curriculum will remain."

Can't have it both ways. Either you're making something new and taking up more time so you replacing something, or you're just putting it in something old, so you take away time from what was there in the first place. Which is it?

[Tectonix]

"Actually Madam Senator, you can have it both ways. You can teach the standard curriculum one week, and consent the other. Or alternate days. Or halve the individual class period. We are leaving that up to the individual school districts, schools and education providers to make the best choice for their students.

"Again, could you please respond to my question regarding SNIP's exemption of statutory rapists? I genuinely wish to know."

Newsflash: If you're only teaching the original course every other week then you only get to teach half of the original course. I guess we have our answer.

Are you having hearing trouble Senator? I just told you! Getting someone's age wrong isn't the same as violently and aggressively tormenting and violating a woman who is not consenting. Not that hard is it?

[Tectonix]

"Please, your disrespect towards me is not needed now. Now, as I was saying, the original course is being supplemented, so seeing as consent is not as large as the original curriculum, it can occupy a percentage of class time that is less than 50%. Again, we're leaving that up to the individual school districts, schools and teachers to decide what's best.

"Now, thank you for answering my question, regardless of your tone."

Then why did you lie about it being neither? You're clearly replacing the curriculum we have now with the new stuff. Even if its only 30%, that means that you can only teach 70% of the current curriculum.

[Tectonix]

"Again, I ask you to stop accusing and disrespecting me; I am trying to hold a civil discussion with you and the host here. No, we are not replacing the curriculum; that hasn't even been proposed in the talks that transpired. Also, you misunderstand the point of amending the curriculum. The curriculum is getting a new thing to teach; the class is not operating under dual curricula. And again, we are leaving the time management to the school districts, schools and teachers so they may see to its best execution."

And so am I, Senator. I'm not the one whose gotten so worked up that they needed to get cut off. Now what have I accused you of that isn't true? True or False Senator: Your new curriculum will resulting in the replacing or displacing of the current curriculum?

[Tectonix]

"False. I've already stated that. To quote you, 'Are you having hearing trouble Senator? I just told you!'"

Good, now we are getting somewhere absent your snark. So you are teaching 100% of the old curriculum, and 100% of the new curriculum. So now the question for you is what classes are you going to cut to make room for this new curriculum-since you just said that you wouldn't push out a single bit of the old curriculum?

[Tectonix]

"I'll ignore that snark bit. Now, repeating myself AGAIN, we are adding to the current curriculum, not making dual curricula. I cannot answer the rest of your question, since it is of the false premise that we are adding a new curriculum, which we are not doing."

So then what you're doing is forcing teachers to try to cram even more into the heads of kids in the same amount of time? Quantity over quality?

[Tectonix]

"The Common Core curriculum is routinely changed, amended and revised, and I don't see a drop in educational quality, nor riots in the streets by overworked teachers. The addition is not particularly large, also; consent education isn't like biology, with branches and sections. Although it's simple, it is very powerful, and proven to lower undesired sexual activity."

Always with the prevarication. Let's stop that here. True or false-you are requiring teachers to teach more material in the same amount of time. They answer has to be true, by the way, or you lied in your last statement, so let's get it on the record.

[Tectonix]

"Yes, we are. In the same amount of time, we are requiring education providers to teach more, lust like Ronald Reagan, whom forced civil spirit and national pride to be taught in Social Studies, History and Civics classes in the United States. Not saying it was good nor bad."

[Tallahassee News Station]

"We're almost out of time, so just another question or two to wrap it up. Maria, you have hinted that SNIP is just the first step in anti-rape legislation. We've seen what the Democrats are working towards, what about you?"

Well I'll say the first thing is to stop this ridiculous disarmament. You can't act like you're standing up for women when you're trying to take away their right to self-defense. This year it has been worse than ever, Governor Murray wanting to ban all long arms and Senator Maxwell's buddy Senator Conti wanting mass confiscation of guns, and he's still running. It doesn't solve everything but a woman's right to defend herself should be first and foremost, and you can't call yourself pro-woman if you want to take that away. And Senator Maxwell here was just talking about on the campaign trail about how big a supporter he is of the Bill of Rights, so I'm sure that I can count on him to work across the aisle to start repealing all this gun control legislation, right Senator?

[Tectonix]

"Quite the pivot you just did there, María. Not sure what giving more guns to people has to do with curtailing rape, unless you think it's a good idea to give the victims guns so they can shoot up their assailants."

Well, yes, that's exactly what I think. Do you think there is something wrong with a woman shooting the man trying to rape her? You think that shooting your rapist is not "a good idea?"

[Tectonix]

"I would prefer the law to be dispensed by the authorities than gun-wielding citizens, regardless of how 'law-abiding' they may be."

Cops response time is fifteen minutes. You want them to just sit there and take it for that long?! If someone's trying to rape you, a woman has the right to blow a hole in his head, and I don't care if that offends your sensibilities.
