Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

I assume they're trying to out-do the old Soviet joke.

Preface to a new sex education schoolbook:
"Dear children. There are three kinds of love. First, there is the love between parents and children. We're sure all of you are already familiar with that, so there is no need to discuss it here. Second, there is the love between two adults. Some suggest it might be too early to tell you anything about that yet. And third, there's the love the People feel toward the Party, and that is what we shall discuss for the rest of this book..."

Shouldn't separation of church and state also separate the state from ideologies espoused by the church

Absolutely. Republicans aren't in the business of being logically consistent or even the least bit honest, though.

Essentially "Don't do it if you don't want to catch a disease, get pregnant, or get someone else pregnant. Only way to be absolutely sure."

Which is true, to be fair. I mean a majority of students aren't going to implement that and it's missing 99% of what you should probably know, but what little is left isn't wrong as such.
