A bill that would have required all public school districts in Massachusetts that teach sex education to adopt state standards – which include a curriculum showing students how to use thin plastic wrap as a makeshift barrier – failed in the Massachusetts Legislature.
The Massachusetts Senate passed Senate Bill 2128 by a vote of 31-6 on July 20, 2017, but the House never took up the bill before its formal session ended earlier today, after midnight.
Massachusetts Republican candidate Geoff Diehl taunted incumbent taunted U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren over how high federal personal income tax rates should be, harping on Warren's refusal to give a top figure during an interview earlier in the week.
"What's the number, Senator Warren? Is it 50 percent? Is it 60 percent? Is it 70 percent? Is it 80 percent? Is it 90 percent?" Diehl said outside a Warren campaign event in the South End of Boston on Saturday, according to his campaign. "How much do we have to pay in income taxes in Warren's world?"
