Wisconsin DA Threatens Arrests Over Sex Ed
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.'"
Let's let the public schools teach them how to safely consume large quantities of alcohol and get behind the wheel of an automobile...
Or to safely use cocaine or other illegal drugs...
Or to safely text while driving...
It's for the children after all.
Sexual assault doesn't have to be done by adults. Just recently in Arizona there was a Liberian girl raped by a group of young boys. IIRC the oldest boy was ~15. These kids won't choose to be victims, they may not even know if they do become victims.
I think I understand the Lawyer's concerns. These children are taught not to engage is sexual activity, but then they are told that sex is safe with a condom. So now little Jimmy may be convinced by his teacher/priest/coach that what they are doing is ok because he/she is going to use a condom. Or, young children will think it's ok to diddle around with each other because they found contraceptives, and we end up with another girl or boy raped, by children.
I think sex ed should be about the reproductive system, and the state should leave it to parents to talk about contraceptives and abstinence. Which ever the child's parents prefer.

Kids are branded as lame if they're still virgins at 12. Divorce is rampant. Children are regularly harmed by the constant break up of families. Cheating spouses is viewed as not a big deal even though it causes so much harm to children. Kids are growing up without any parents because the one they have has to work 3 jobs or both decide they'd rather work than raise their kids. Drug abuse and teen pregnancy have skyrocketed.
So, how's that war on religion going?
I remember getting excused from sexual education in high school. It was abstinence education, with no practical skills taught. Basically they showed us a bunch of nasty pictures and told us to not fuck, suck, or kiss. I spent hours surfing the web while my taxes went towards hours of wasted time. It was funny how confused they were about my "religion" that forbids me from learning sexual education that is solely abstinence. Luckily, I basically told them to fuck off and quit prying and they did.
your taxes, eh? you paid the taxes that bought your education when you were in high school? did you moonlight or something to make money? own property that you needed to pay on? i think not. just another twit
