Stay Classy: Don't You "Feminize" Scott Renfroe's Boys!

As reported by a couple of outlets, Sen. Scott Renfroe had another of his charming “Leviticus moments” in debate yesterday–not the first, as our readers know, but here’s the video:

And even on that note I would tell you that I do think a lot of our schools are failing in the physical activity department. Especially for our boys in our schools. We’re seeing, in my opinion, I would even go to the point of calling it a ‘feminization’ of our boys with the way they’re treated in schools, on recess, and, and within, within the classroom. And that’s, that’s a huge problem!

So folks, we’ve seen an actual elementary school recess in Colorado in the not-too-distant past, and we don’t have any idea what Renfroe is talking about–no shortage of budding hyperactive manliness to be found. Is he upset about Title IX? Anti-bullying campaigns? Soy milk?

It’s also important to note that the bill, House Bill 1069, is a bill to increase physical education. You’d think that Sen. Renfroe, who looks eerily like Beavis and Butthead’s high school gym coach Mr. Buzzcut (seriously, look at him), would approve of this. But after his dire warnings about “feminization,” he voted no–“local control” apparently trumps Sen. Renfroe’s mandate to protect the boys of Colorado from…whatever it is he’s protecting them from.

But there is one lesson here for fellow Senate Republicans: any time you hear Renfroe lead off with the words “I would even go to the point of calling it,” that’s a really good signal to run away.
