Ahhhh, Good on You Mississippi! 2015 and Continuing to go Backwards.

Yes, Mississippi, that bastion of bigotry, racism, ignorance, misogyny, intolerance, poverty, Bibles, Confederate flags, Bronze-Age thinking, and bottom-of-the-heap in education, strikes again. 

The Heritage Initiative will be known as Initiative Measure Number 46. Here is the full text.

Here's the best (or worst, depending on whether you are a supporter) part of the initiative:

(I.)  The State of Mississippi hereby acknowledges the fact of her identity as a principally Christian and quintessentially Southern state, in terms of the majority of her population, character, culture, history, and heritage, from 1817 to the present;  accordingly, the Holy Bible is acknowledged as a foremost source of her founding principles, inspiration, and virtues;  and, accordingly, prayer is acknowledged as a respected, meaningful, and valuable custom of her citizens.  The acknowledgments hereby secured shall not be construed to transgress either the national or the state Constitution’s Bill of Rights.

Well, isn't that special? I won't waste more of my time on this. If interested you can do a search to see what other folks are saying. Here are a couple of links.
