“A controversial new bill could ban teachers from discussing ‘gateway’ sexual activity with teenagers as the state of Tennessee bids to promote abstinence among students.

The discussion of sexual activity like genital-touching, often promoted as an alternative to full intercourse, could be prohibited in high school sex education classes.

The bill has already been signed by Tennessee Governor BIll Haslam and any teachers caught discussing such behaviour could potentially be fined $500.

Activity like genital-touching has been deemed as an offending ‘gateway’ to full intercourse by legislators.

This just in, in the world of big government, a world so big Ray Charles could see it blindfolded: the Tennessee Senate just came up with an idea to restrict how Americans live their own lives, and beat Rick Santorum and Michele Bachmann to the punch, or at least made this idea public before they did, they just approved a bill that would warn Tennessee students that they apparently don’t trust to make their own decisions in this area, that is consensual human contact. 

Apparently Tennessee schools aren’t very good or something. And their students aren’t capable of making these decisions on their own. They just passed a bill that would warn their students, that “Hand Holding Is a Gateway to Sexual Activity”. And no this is not a joke, kinda like alcohol is a gateway to marijuana. Or flying is a gateway to bungee jumping.Driving is a gateway to drunk driving, smoking is a gateway to arson. Well, that makes just as much sense as this Tennessee Senate bill. 

You know what the next step to this is, well I’ll tell you anyway: the Tennessee Senate may try to outlaw adultery or pre-marital sex. Maybe they’ll create a Tennessee State Sex Police, where an officer would go by each home in the state everyday and night, to make sure no one is having an adulterous affair. Or go by every club and bar and demand to see everyone’s marriage license, to make sure they are not having an affair. 

These assumptions aren’t completely far-fetched: U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (Republican, South Carolina) a champion of big government suggested back in 2010 that adultery should be illegal in the United States. But now he’s saying the Republican Party should become more libertarian on social issues. Holy Mitt Romney flip-flop, Batman! Make up your mind man! You’re on complete opposite sides of the same issues! Stop taking pages from Mitt Romney’s playbook. This is big government at its worse, interfering with how Americans live their own lives. 

And just another reason why sane intelligent people shouldn’t live in Tennessee. Even though I would like to visit both Nashville and Memphis. And makes Tennessee look like a laughing-stock to everyone who doesn’t live in a mental institution or in the Bible Belt. Which is most of the country, but with state senators like this, who needs mental patients. And it gives reason to believe that are mental institutions aren’t overcrowded enough.
