So wait… Couldn’t they just simply request a copy of a child’s yearly physical from their physician? For example, in the 90s/2000s, if we wanted to join a sport we had to get a physical from our GP of choice so the doctor can confirm it was safe for us to play the sport in question. It was a form the doctor and parent filled out, then gave to the school. I would think something like that was already a thing?? I also remember my parents having to submit certain medical records to my schools for other reasons… Why would anyone else need to examine these children???
Ideally, if the politicians actually believed what they told their votes, then yes, they would do it that way. But... Trump was best friends with Jeffry Epstein. Nearly all the Maga billionaires visited Epstein's island. The Republican party is full of pedos, sex traffickers and Nazis.
That's called pedophilia
We found the real freaks. I wonder if the Pizzagate/Qanon dipshits have figured it out yet: everything the qons do is about projection.
What actually happend to the Qanon movement? Is that still a thing? Is it dead?
Likely just mainstream Republicans now, along with the teabaggers (often the same people).
If anything to go by their Hungarian counterparts, their only problem is "homosexual pedophilia", while celebrate old guys who manage to hook up with actual teens as "real studs", then blame the victims for the pedophilia, because "14 year olds back then played with dolls, not dressed like sluts". And I was the one who felt bad for posting Railgun memes with "You know what are the number one causes of pedophilia? Sexy children" text onto my anime shitposting page...
This is stupid as fuck, right, but who doesn't accompany their child into the doctor's office?
Like there are no circumstances under which I'm leaving my child alone with an adult who may examine their genitals and having had child safety training myself just being alone with a child that isn't yours is a terrible idea altogether.
I think part if the motivation here would be to allow the doctor present at a school to determine whether a child is participating in the correct sex-appropriate placement. Like using the correct locker rooms or bathrooms in case teachers or other students bring up an issue (for example if a boy were to go into a girl's locker room and claim to really be a girl). Since appearance doesn't line up with sex in many cases nowadays, the inspection would be to determine the real sex of the individual. Some school activities will involve nudity (changing before entering a swimming pool, communal showering after a sports match or gym class, etc.) so the authors of this were initially pushing for any teacher (such as the supervisor in a locker room or the teacher of the associated class) to be able to inspect/determine the sex of the individual.
So... under no circumstances are they going to bring doctors into schools to perform these inspections?
'Doctors' like someone who passed med school, flunked out of residency and couldn't land a practicing job anywhere they were so god awful.
But they are a doctor!
Maybe not even a doctor of medicine at all, or they were disbarred.
I got my doctorate in smelling shit at this online university!
I suppose that hadn't occurred to me because I live in a country where, if that were to happen, I couldn't imagine the level of social unrest it would cause.
It's just beyond reason.
So republican parents are ok with strangers inspecting their child’s genitals without their consent?
Well that law will never on MY KIDS.
Only a fucking piece of trash thinks it's ok for a teacher to look at a kid's junk, regardless of if the parents give consent.
Former teacher here. Any teacher that would comply with such an order to inspect is also a fucking piece of trash.
Once our assistant principal went on a witch hunt about enforcing uniform compliance. He wanted us all to inspect socks to ensure they were the right color. Turns out the color of my kids' socks doesn't impact the learning environment, so no, we aren't wasting class time on this.
So no, I'm not inspecting genitals. And if there is a move to do such a thing at school, I'd spend the entire class time calling parents letting them know what's going on.
What level are they allowed to view? If the child says no are they able to force their way into their pants? At what point does it become rape?
A child cannot consent.
So, immediately. It becomes sexual assault, at least, immediately.
Unless...we can come up with some sort of legislation...totally important and necessary legislation, of course!
You're looking at this problem all wrong, it's not that children cannot consent. Nobody is arguing that. The change here is that now those that would be doing the tests are no longer considered child predators because they didn't do anything illegal. So now it would be totally fine for priests, doctors, senators, neighbors, etc to look at random kids genitals to verify sexuality without any resistance from their parents/guardians. Is this how we finally do away with rapists, by redefining sexual assault.
So now it would be totally fine for priests, doctors, senators, neighbors, etc
"treating health care provider"
Some of these things are not like the others.
After COVID, many doctors left rural areas. This has left many communities across the country lacking proper "treating health care providers". Who do you think is going to fill that gap for the purpose of this bill. Besides, most of the time the ones that are making headlines for this stuff typically have an R next to their name. But you're right, some of these things are not like the others. And that's kinda my point.
I'm so damn glad I'm not a parent. There's no fucking way I wouldn't pulverize someone's limbs into paste if they touched my child.
Cops already do it to black kids. One girl was on her period and they made her bend over and cough and everything.
Parent here. You sound like parent material.
Genital Obsession Party
Oh, come on, it's just a ChildS exAM
Keep republicans away from my children
Oh the irony that the shitheads that couldn't wear a mask, and want to ban books because of "parent rights", now want to ice parents out of the decision of a rando looking at their kids genitals.
It turns out that conservative people believe in specific people, not in ideology. So any claims about reasons for specific policies are basically just pretext.
But drag queens reading books are the real threat.
It's the pedo enabling act!
It's like they learned the wrong lessons from the US gymnastics team incidents.
So much for Parents Rights.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS IS AN IMPROVEMENT
Well, you see before it was a random stranger, but NOW it's a random stranger in a lab coat.
Before it was allowing a republican to be in the room.
This shouldn't surprise anyone. Most pedophiles are Republicans. Now they get to visually molest your kids legally, neat.
A government so small it fits into a child's pants
Can we retrospectively inspect the law makers, just so they can have a lived experience before they next get together to make more crazy laws?
Here's the text of the bill that was passed: https://www.wvlegislature.gov/Bill_Text_HTML/2025_SESSIONS/RS/bills/sb456%20sub1%20enr.pdf
Can someone please point out where this language is because I'm not finding it and it tracking the history of this bill, found here, it appears to me that it was removed.
Bloody mfers.
Of course they did, it’s all they think about
