Reports of right thinking and progress in Utah are greatly exaggerated

Sex education in Utah is miserable, but the Utah PTA wants to assure you it's not getting any better.
It seems some conservative groups were spreading some misinformation about an education bill, which was killed six weeks ago, and the PTA wants to set the record straight. Utah State PTA Health Commissioner Liz Zentner said this:

It should not have given the PTA a black eye, but through the erroneous information that went out from some groups, it made us look really bad.

What were these awful things the PTA were accused of trying to do? Talking about contraception and the fact that gay people exist! Utah's approach to sex education can be summed up in one word: "don't". Former PTA member Becky English's comment says it all:

I just really disagreed with, especially in Utah, the PTA taking a stand of pro-sex education.

How disgusting. Making an effort to prevent kids from getting pregnant or contracting diseases. No sir, not here in Zion. Here the pants stay sealed until the people are sealed for all eternity. That's the story and they're sticking to it. No matter what the stats say.

Democracy: a good thing, right? Not in Utah County

A group of parents in Utah County are protesting their children's school district for promoting democracy. True, the U.S. is not a true one-person-one-vote democracy. And maybe schools should stay out of political ideology. They almost have a point. But then their leader, a guy by the name of Oak Norton, goes and says this:

"Karl Marx said, 'Democracy is the road to socialism,' " Norton said. A true democracy, he said, relies solely on majority rule and inevitably devolves into anarchy, which then sprouts socialist dictators.

Waaaaaaaaait...what? In what universe does that follow? On what are you basing this? That progression is completely made up, but it has the dreaded S-word in it, so you have to pay attention. I imagine a boardroom table full of capitalists voting on whether or not to acquire another company. The vote is a tie and everyone abruptly resigns their spot on the board and begins running around the room aimlessly until one old man fires a pistol in the air and says "All right! Everyone sit down! We're not going to buy the compnay, we're going to share with them!"
If you thought that was stupid, you are right. The whole thing is very, very stupid.
