Something Else Schools Can't Do -- Teach

About sex that is.

According to a District Attorney in Juneau County, Wisconsin, if teachers follow their state's new sex education law they risk being prosecuted for "misdemeanor or felony delinquency of a minor, with maximum punishments ranging from nine months in jail to six years in prison."

He suggested in his letter to school districts that someone instructing students under 16 in the use of contraceptives is punishable because "the 'natural and probable consequences' of the teacher's instruction is to cause that child to engage in sexual intercourse with a child".

So, apparently, this DA thinks it is a criminal act to even cause a kid to think about sex. And that is regardless of whether what is taught actually causes sex or is designed for the purpose of protecting students from some of the consequences of their youthful indiscretions.
