Seriously, does this have any chance? Like, seriously?! Or is this just pandering to the GOP base??
Seriously? As in "I'm very serious when asking this question.".

I doubt this will ever pass, but these guys are getting more and more comfortable with this rhetoric out in the open. It's making me uncomfortable and I worry something bad like this will eventually pass.
There is no chance in Hell this passes as it's actually unconstitutional.
It would be a bit of funny irony due to the base this action is pandering to if it wasn't so expected and going to fall on deaf ears.

And as we see here, as the modern GOP loses control of a state the modern GOP within go bugfuck nuts and criminal.
That's why the Supreme Court is so insanely important and the stolen seat that Bitch McConnel stole.
These knuckledraggers need to crawl back under the rocks they came from.
Open bigotry should be grounds for a lifetime ban from politics.

This isn't the only thing they are trying to do. Trying to force the transgender people to their gender before transition on their state licences.

And a bill was introduced weeks ago that has schools no longer require vaccinations in order to enroll in school. Hasn't passed yet but it was introduced by a AZGOP asshole.

Not much we can do as long as LGBTQ people aren't considered a protected class
That's probably not gonna change because y'all can't stop defending bigots who throw a tantrum when they have to do their job and bake a fucking cake.

She's a creationist, too.

Article from 2015:
One of the best-known lightning rods in the Arizona Legislature will now help shape the future of education.
Senate President Andy Biggs named Sen. Sylvia Allen, R-Snowflake, chairwoman of the Senate Education Committee. Allen replaces Kelli Ward, who resigned the Senate earlier this month to focus on her congressional run.
Allen is best known for her controversial public comments over the years. During a legislative hearing in 2009, she said the Earth is 6,000 years old, a belief held by "Young Earth" biblical creationists. In 2013, a Facebook post about chem-trail conspiracies gained widespread media attention, as did a March comment suggesting mandatory church attendance.
Last year, Navajo County Sheriff K.C. Clark accused Allen of trying to interfere with a criminal investigation of her son-in-law.
Allen, who graduated from Snowflake High School and did not attend college, is co-founder of George Washington Academy, an EdKey, Inc. charter school in Snowflake.
As chairwoman, she will control which legislative education proposals succeed and which ones die.

Sneaky fucks with this shit. Can't wait until this state goes full blue forever.
I hate when people talk about sex education for kids below 12. Isn't that stuff just explaining to kids if someone touches them inappropriately who to talk to?
Why are they so obsessed with keeping people in the dark about sex and sex education? If kids get molested they don't know what to do, teens don't know how to avoid pregnancy, and you grow up with NO idea how your body works. WTF.

I'm never not amazed how afraid some of these people are of being gay. I'm at the point where I just assume they are gay and afraid people might find out.
Stop assuming that. You need to have a way of conceptualizing that sometimes straight people are just hateful bigots.
It's also, in modern context, explaining to kids that people of different sexual orientations and identities exist, which generally results in tolerance, which terrifies the right.
[/QUOTE]
please tell me you are kidding. Kids as young as 13 start having sex. 11-12 is exactly the right age to educate them about how sex works.
No, and I'm not about to go back and forth with you on that. The common conservative talking point is "I can't believe they're teaching sex education to five year olds". Replace five with any single digit age.
She is a piece of shit all around. Her Wikipedia entry is failure stacked on scandal stacked on racism stacked on misogyny, and religious bullshit.
Here's a classy quote of hers:
In part of a speech she gave in July 2019, Allen lamented the "browning" of the United States,[18] claiming that the country would "look like South American countries very quickly", and complained that immigrants failed to "learn the principles of our country". When contacted by media outlets, Allen attempted to clarify by saying the reason this concerned her was that she viewed many South American countries as "socialist". These remarked were quickly denounced by many Arizona Democrats. Within the same speech, Allen claimed that "our boys are struggling to know how to be men" due to "this feminist movement" which was "destroying our families", and denounced the Equal Rights Amendment.

In their minds, if you tell kids what sex is, they will start doing it sooner and more vigorously. It's as simple as that.
Not surprised, they consistently place at the bottom for education, every year. This is the result
Just remember, sunlight's the best disinfectant *rolls her eyes so goddamn hard* That shitty statement is only made by people who don't suffer from letting bigots speak. Fuckin' Bill Maher let Fuckin' David Duke on his show in the 90's, and was called out on it by Fuckin' Dick Morris. He responded with that pat phrase, and of course, David Duke was exposed a racist monster, and never again appeared on another talk show....
I'm down for that. Jesus-follower sounds more accurate anyways. Christianity is pretty ambiguous at this point.
I don't understand the intention of this Arizona republican. You can't erase a group of people from your state. This is pretty much just fanning the flames 😒
With such a track record, I'm just stumped she got voted into Power in the first place. How is that possible? Do people in the US simply don't care?

A lot of genuinely trash people in my state that fully support her views. It's disgusting the type of racist shit I see on my local news feeds.

Yup. Northen AZ has a large LDS population that is conservative.
