Utah Moves Backwards Passes Abstinence-Only Sex Education Bill; Bans Discussion of Homosexuality and Contraceptives
Utah’s legislature gave final passage this week with a Senate vote of 19-10 to an abstinence-only sex-ed bill that forbids discussion of homosexuality even if the student asks, FOX13 reports:
After the new bill goes into effect, the teaching of sex education in Utah classrooms has to be about not having sex before marriage and fidelity within marriage. Teachers cannot advocate the use of contraceptives anymore and they cannot talk about homosexuality, even if asked by a student.
HB 363 would also allow any Utah school to opt out of sex education and would ban students from talking to their teachers about pre-marital sex.
“My problem is that we’re having essentially complete strangers teaching our children, who frankly we don’t know who they are and exactly what they’re teaching, with the most sensitive issues that do belong in the home,” said one Republican Senator during Tuesday’s floor debate.
Opponents of the bill, most of them Senate Democrats, say HB 363 is out of touch with reality.
Wow! Talk about being ass fucking backwards. I really can’t believe these people anymore. Although when you got a butch of morons running around in their magic undies what more can you expect.
Please queue a pesky increase in teen pregnancy and teen STIs. But of course, Utah being all Mormonated will probably just see that as God’s judgement against teens who just need to zip it up.
@jahlapenos ofcourse. That or they’ll disown them and ship them off like some of them do now.
Quite right, “God’s punishment for immorality”
@Rafael11 ???
@Sozo
What jahlapenos said is quite true: Mormons probably just see STI’s as punishment for immorality, and not as a health issue.
Oh , but it’s the Mormon State ! They are just PERFECT Examples of Truth and Morality ! What a Bunch of Fucking Twisted , Self – Obligatory , Egotistical Sociopaths ! Apparently their only Purpose is to Produce a State full of Ignorant , Closeted , Self – Centered People ! What POSSIBLE Purpose could this Assinine Bill Serve , other than to HIDE the Truth of the Diversity and Sexual Nature of the Human Creature ? None , ABSOLUTELY NONE !!
@WilliamMeemken they are fucking crazy. I have family who are mormons…I know all about that crazy shit they do.
You ought to be Gay and live in this Great State of Utah, and to think how many people want Romney for President he is also Mormon and follows their beliefs to a T. But yes every new legislative session we wonder how much father back in time we can get ?
@jakebrake43 I feel so sorry for you my friend.
