Tennessee Getting More Stupid Every Day On Sex Education. [View all]

Teacher can only talk about sex education only if it is in the state approved guidelines. Identified taboos are discussing hand holding and kissing. They are gateways to sex like marijuana is to drugs. I guess the legislature has identified a number of gateway taboos that are tempting gateways to sex. They cannot be discussed or demonstrated. And teachers will be fired if they stray from this assigned curriculum. What we see is the GOP religious wrong version of small government.

Maybe they should have separate schools for the sexes like Catholic schools did. Or have separate classes for girls and boys.

There is something drastically wrong with this nation if we do not put a STOP to this paranoid madness.
