The president of the Massachusetts Senate announced Thursday afternoon that another state senator was out of line when she used a common slang term for oral sex while making a speech from the floor.
Apparently, state Senator Linda Dorcena Forry offended the decorum of the Senate when she used such language while discussing the proposed sex education bill.
BOSTON — As it did in 2015, the Massachusetts Senate passed a bill nearly entirely along party lines on Thursday dictating how school districts teach sex education; and just like two years ago, the biggest sticking point for the bill's opponents was the lack of an opt-in stipulation for parents and guardians.
Unlike in 2015, however, it is likely this version of the bill will reach the House floor for a vote, but it remains to be seen if lawmakers on the other side of the State House attach the failed parental opt-in amendment touted Thursday by House Minority Leader Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester).
