00:00I finally read in detail Senate Bill 1979 and I was shocked and I was appalled by some of the elements of that.

00:18Because this is all this book that they are trying to bring into our system.

00:26You will teach 4 year olds how to masturbate.

00:31That every child has the right to try different sexualities.

00:39This is ridiculous. It is abhorrent.

00:43It is a travesty of what sexual and sex education should be to the children.

00:50What about the parents? They don't have the right to decide what and when to teach the child.

00:59We all, I'm a parent and I'm a grandparent.

01:04So I feel very strongly about this.

01:06So, let me be very very clear.

01:08I still believe that sex education in terms of teaching kids the anatomy of the reproductive systems of males and females is extremely important.

01:20The consequences of early pregnancy, the prevalence of HIV.

01:27All of that needs to be taught so that the children will know.

01:31But the absurdities that they included are abhorrent to me.

01:40And I'm already guaranteeing that this hasn't passed yet.

01:46But if this bill is passed in that form, I guarantee all parents, teachers, and children, I will immediately veto it.
