Eg that sex ed should not take it further than necessary. The video shown before is indeed one examples of many where imho it would help to alleviate some fears within the more reasonable portion of the right if more reasonable people would admit that yeah, this is indeed too much and we need to be sensitive about that.



First, I have to say that this, possibly unintentionally, is shaped to spark outrage by some. Some that will say that the right does not like violence as well and that you were trying to imply otherwise. It's just the world you live in.
When it comes to the tropes, this is just a small sample size of all the tropes going around. The right are also called bigots, mostly either racists or ignoring racism to a point where they are just as bad as racists, uneducated, stupid, gullible and then some. The left are called crazy, Venezuela-loving socialists, unworldly, insufferably woke and then some. Then some being the key. Both of course are also called hypocrites and completely beholden to their respective media outrage machines. Clichés that are met at times, but are applied, directly or indirectly, all the time, to the detriment of every discussion and every possible compromise.

And that's why I said "in general".  It is part of the culture wars that national and local politics are involved in right now.  And it ebbs and flows with time.  

Go back to the 90's and you find me arguing vehemently with Tipper Gore and the Democrats about labeling albums and against the right about the "Satanic Panic", which oddly were intertwined with each other.

But right now it is the right/conservatives/Christians leading the way on the evils of sex and, strangely, history when it comes to what children are being taught.  At least the leaders of their party.  Therefore they will bear the brunt of the criticism until that changes.
