This is insane.

Under Mississippis mandated sex-education curriculum, teachers are required to instruct students that homosexual activity under the "unnatural intercourse" statute is illegal, and that a "monogamous relationship in the context of marriage is the only appropriate setting for sexual intercourse."

Since 2012, Mississippi has required all school districts to offer an abstinence-centered sex-ed curriculum, although 12 percent of districts have not yet implemented any sex-ed courses, according to a recent study by the Center for Mississippi Health Policy.

The law also requires male and female students to be instructed in separate classrooms and prohibits condom demonstrations in schools.

While several states maintain anti-sodomy laws -- including Alabama, Louisiana and Utah -- a November 2013 Public Policy Polling survey found that Mississippi probably continues to be the most conservative state in the country when it comes to same sex marriage." Only 22 percent of Mississippi voters said they support marriage equality, with 69 percent thinking it should be illegal.

On Thursday, Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant (R) signed a contentious bill potentially legalizing anti-LGBT discrimination throughout the state under the auspices of religious freedom.

Not only are they told that homosexual activity is illegal, but they aren't even taught how to use condoms. And then, conservatives whine about kids getting pregnant (and on welfare) and spreading diseases. Stop shooting yourself in the foot. How can anyone support this nonsense?

Well, it's a given that teens are mysteriously drawn to things which are illegal so I presume this is promoted to effectively encourage it.

US Republicans are, ahem, behind it?

Well that clinches it.

If the right had an informed electorate they would be out of the job. Why do you think Fox News keeps its viewers most uninformed?

Not a peep from the conservatives in this forum?
