Mississippi has a problem with
teen childbirth and young adults contacting HIV. Mississippi legislators have
a solution:
Teaches that abstinence from sexual activity before marriage, and fidelity within marriage, is the only certain way to avoid out-of-wedlock pregnancy, sexually-transmitted diseases and related health problems. The instruction or program may include a discussion on contraceptives, but only if such discussion includes a factual presentation of the risks (failure rates, diseases not protected against) of those contraceptives. In no case shall the instruction or program include any demonstration of how condoms or other contraceptives are applied...
It's forward thinking like this that's going to bring Mississippi into the 18th century before you know it. Luckily, people like Sanford Jackson are trying new and creative ways around sexual education laws that can only be called "draconian." Watch below, it's fun and informative.
