Article here. Excerpt:

'As universities and colleges face heightened scrutiny over their handling of campus rape, two Democratic senators want to expand public school health education to require high schoolers to learn about sexual assault.

The Teach Safe Relationships Act of 2015, introduced on Tuesday by Sens. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) and Tim Kaine (D-Va.), would require that health education in public secondary schools include learning on "safe relationship behavior" aimed at preventing sexual assault, domestic violence and dating violence. Under current federal law, health and sex education classes needn't include sexual assault prevention.

The legislation came out of a meeting between Kaine and members of One Less, an education group that advocates for survivors of rape and sexual assault, at the University of Virginia. The school drew national attention in November, when Rolling Stone published a bombshell article recounting the brutal gang rape of a young woman at a fraternity house. Although the story has since been partially discredited, UVA has been accused of failing to address sexual assault and violence.'

Try "completely exposed as a bogus tissue of lies" on for size, there, Huffington Feminist Post. Really, they should just merge with WaPo and change their name to that and remove all pretense. Maybe also merge with the NYT and become the "Feminist Post-Times" or something equally ludicrous but at least a bit more honest.

I do hope these people's constituents'll have the good sense to give them the heave-ho the next time they're up for re-election. Can't get rid of these misandrist ideologues fast enough. Ugh.
