Minnesota State Sen. Glenn Gruenhagen (R) speaks against sex education in schools, saying it produces dopamine in small children and therefore causes addiction. "You're producing addiction to pornography, and some of those young boys will turn into human sexual predators."

Mom had no choice. She had to try to give her students an honest answer. Sex, she explained, can give people an "all-over good feeling." And then she pivoted right back to the importance of waiting for marriage et cetera et cetera.
