Wisconsin DA Threatens Arrests Over Sex Ed

Posted by samzenpus on from the talk-about-genitals-go-directly-to-jail dept.

WrongSizeGlass writes "USA Today is reporting that the DA of Juneau County, Wisconsin, is warning teachers that they could face arrest over the new sex-ed curriculum. District Attorney Scott Southworth said a new state law that requires students learn to use condoms and other contraceptives 'promotes the sexualization — and sexual assault — of our children.' Southworth also said, 'I'm not looking to charge any teachers. I've got enough work to do.'"

    Like the recent nullification suits brought to defeat health care reform, not even the originators believe there is any merit to these actions.

    Teen pregnancy rates dropped from 1990 to 2005 to the lowest level in decades. Drug abuse rates have actually been decreasing on a gentle slope. Divorce rates have declined from 0.47% of the population in 1991 to 0.37% in 2004.

    How's that war on actual facts going?
