They don't want schools to teach about sex, or should I say gay sex or abortion or contraceptives, BUT how many of those angry parents won't teach about any kind of sex ed at home either.
And then they wonder why so many of their kids need abortions. :o

Utah Passes Anti-Sex Ed Bill

Utah's sex-ed classes are about to get a lot shorter. The state's legislature passed a bill that would ban public schools from teaching contraception as a way of preventing pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases. The bill also prohibits teaching about homosexuality. The bill now goes to Governor Gary Herbert, who has yet to take a public stance on the issue. Thirty-seven states require information about abstinence to be taught, while 26 of those states require abstinence be taught as the most reliable way of preventing pregnancy or infection. Utah's law would be the only one that prohibits discussion of birth control.

Yeah, I saw this and I couldn't help but shake my head and wonder if it would be too late to defect to Canada. I'm sorry, but this country is on the fast-track to becoming the laughing stock of the world and you know something? This chica don't care enough (and lacks that strong sense of loyalty most people have) to stand by her country and take the blame for being a trogladyte.
