Utah Rep. Bill Wright is sponsoring the bill that aims to make sex education optional in schools, and goes on to prohibit any discussion of contraception or same sex relationships even when a student explicitly asks their instructor.

The current curriculum allows for the discussion of “abstinence over other methods in preventing sexually transmitted diseases.” And it allows discussions about “contraception and condom use” only if a student brings it up. The proposed law actually prohibits discussions about the intricacies of intercourse, homosexuality, contraceptive methods or devices. And instead would focus on an abstinence based curriculum. Wright says, “Abstinence is a word that everyone understands and we thought that was the best place to draw the line.”

Teen Pregnancy and Sexually Transmitted Infections seem like pretty easy concepts to understand too Rep. Wright. Then again, maybe you just need your little social experiment to get the point across more clearly and you will understand as teen pregnancy and STI rates grow higher than they already are. Ignorance is never the answer.
