The president just encouraged the rest of Africa to follow Uganda’s lead. He talked about education, encouraged faith-based programs. He pointed out a Catholic priest who works in Kenya, who was in the audience. I would wager the president knows exactly what happened in Uganda and why and he is just simply doing it the most politically possible way. Imagine if he devoted even a paragraph to abstience and fidelity in the State of the Union. Mandela would have been joined by countless other mindless attacks internationally by those who are ideologically committed to condoms-first “prevention.”
