(Des Moines, IA) Iowa State Senate President Jake Chapman blames the media and others for a “sinister agenda” aimed at normalizing deviant behavior against children. Although the Iowa Legislature is expected to focus efforts on tax cuts and reforms to unemployment law, Chapman’s opening speech Monday took the dialogue in a different direction. He says pedophilia and incest are being pushed more than ever before. Chapman said, “The attack on our children is no longer hidden.” The Republican has in the past called for jailing educators who provide what he considers obscene material to students. Democrats criticized the remarks. Republican Governor Kim Reynolds delivers her Condition of the State address tonight (Tuesday).
