Tennessee Ignorance

I think it prophetic and typical that the State of Tennessee, home of the world famous "Scopes Monkey Trial" (1925) that forbid teaching evolution in the schools, has now had it's Senate pass a bill that forbids elementary and secondary schools from even mentioning anything to do with homosexuality. Nothing like a group of people continuing to keep their heads in the sand.

Under the proposal approved 19-11 on Friday, any instruction or materials at a public elementary or middle school will be "limited exclusively to age-appropriate natural human reproduction science." Republican Senate sponsor Stacey Campfield of Knoxville says "homosexuals don't naturally reproduce."
