Boebert Ripped For Boast About Opposing Sex Ed Despite Her And Her Son's Teen Pregnancies

The MAGA Rep. boasted about her fight against comprehensive sex education in Colorado schools despite the fact that she was a teen mother and her son was a teen father.



Republican Colorado Representative Lauren Boebert was raked over the coals for her glaring hypocrisy after she bragged about her fight against comprehensive sex education in schools in her home state.

The 37-year-old GOP Congresswoman, who once said that her mother "inspired me to be a mother when I was 18 years old," became a grandmother last year when her 17-year-old son's underage girlfriend gave birth to their child.

Boebert recently appeared on the right-wing media outlet Real America’s Voice and patted herself on the back for shielding young students from getting comprehensive sex education.

She told Steve Bannon, a former White House advisor to ex-Republican President Donald Trump:

“I have been known in this state for several years now, even before I ran for office, because I was advocating for our children in schools to get comprehensive sex ed out of our schools."

The approach to comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) in schools is protective and holistic for age-appropriate students to learn about the physical, emotional, and social aspects of sexuality during the development of their emotional and social well-being.

In contrast to abstinence-only education, which discourages students from engaging in sex until marriage, CSE is more than just preventing STDs or pregnancy.

CSE provides accurate information on sexual reproductive rights and gender identity and endeavors to help students acquire skills like critical thinking, communication, and taking responsibility while having an open mind and respect for others.


Boebert spoke at the 2023 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) and lambasted public schools that teach about LGBTQ+ sex.

She railed:

“There are schools that are teaching worse than just gender ideology."
"I mean they have comprehensive sex-ed. They’re teaching kids how to have and enjoy sex – and even same-sex sex.”

She also went on to claim elementary school students were being taught these things, without providing evidence and without naming the schools allegedly teaching the mechanics of LGBTQ+ sex.

Social media users thought her protective, self-righteous stance toward the well-being of children was rich for several reasons.

For starters, this is the same individual who dropped out of high school when she had a baby during her senior year in 2004.

Last year, she was forcibly removed from a theater in Denver after exhibiting lewd behavior, including groping her date at a family musical and repeatedly ignoring protocols by filming the performance of Beetlejuice.

Plenty of commenters thought she was hardly one to talk.

After her interview with Bannon, the gun-toting Congresswoman won the Colorado GOP primary election after switching districts last year.

She appeared at a gathering on her victory night wearing a MAGA hat and Trump's line of gold sneakers and told the raucous crowd:

“America will rise again, and I am so excited that you all are here to be a part of it with me."

The mother of four is expected to win the general election in November.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
