#  Lauren Boebert Rails Against Sex-Ed Then Announces Her Teen Son Is Having A Baby

March 09 2023

Written by Molly Sprayregen.

SEX ED - Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) recently announced that in April, she would become a 36-year-old grandmother after the birth of her teen son’s baby. Boebert has been blasting “comprehensive sex education” as inappropriate for kids and is now being ruthlessly mocked for her family’s continued inability to stave off teen pregnancy.

Boebert, herself, dropped out of high school when she got pregnant as a teen, and now her son is following in her footsteps.

Boebert’s announcement about her grandchild also included a dig at trans people.

“We are raising our four boys to be men before liberals teach them to be women,” she said before announcing that “not only am I a mom of four boys, but come April, I will be a Gigi to a brand new grandson.”

She then talked about how her son, Tyler, who is almost 18, joked it was “hereditary” since Boebert made her mother a 36-year-old grandma as well.

On top of it all, while speaking at the recent Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Boebert (R-CO) stated that public school students should be banned from learning sex-ed and about how LGBTQ+ people have sex.

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

Boebert said no public school students should be learning these things and that schools that teach it should have their funding cut. She also claimed elementary school students were learning these things, though she offered no proof.

[Twitter users ruthlessly mocked Boebert for her stance](https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2023/03/lauren-boebert-blasts-sex-ed-classes-twitter-reminded-her-she-was-a-teen-mom/), considering she dropped out of high school when she became a teen mom. Now they are at it again, pointing out Boebert’s inability to notice the irony of her so-called conservative beliefs as she bragged about her growing family.
