The Majority Report crew discusses Republicans’ ludicrous claims that Disney, librarians, and liberals are somehow conspiring to “groom” children with nefarious intent.

At Psychology Today Blogs, David J. Ley takes on this issue and finds these claims of “grooming” are–er, shall we say?–less than credible. A snippet (emphasis added); follow the link for a nuanced discussion of what “grooming” is–and isn’t.

The current claims that sex education, Disney movies, or library books with sexual content are grooming fail to meet the clinical and scientific framing of this concept. First, these claims allege a vast conspiracy of collaborating sexual offenders, collectively manipulating social interactions at a macro and micro level to facilitate sexual abuse. While offenders do sometimes act collectively, such a conspiracy is, frankly, ludicrous . . . .

Aside:

Never underestimate Republicans’ tolerance of the ridiculous. After all, they believe that Donald Trump is a competent businessman.
