Things are just getting MORE confusing now.

In my last blog, I explained how much simpler the world was when I was younger. And now, today, I've found another example of that. In my youth, if you followed a law, you couldn't be prosecuted and charged with a crime because of another law - that's just how the law worked. Apparently, that is no longer how it works... At least, in Wisconsin, anyway!

District Attorney Scott Southworth from Juneau County (that's in Wisconsin, not Alaska) is threatening to charge sex-education teachers with "contributing to the delinquency of a minor" if they teach teens how to properly use condoms or birth control. On the very basis of what he said, that last sentence is pretty ridiculous. On the basis that, under a new Wisconsin law, sex-education teachers are required to teach teens how to properly use contraceptive methods, it's even more bat-shit insane.

So, to sum this short post up, if you teach sex-education in Juneau County, Wisconsin, you're either losing your job or going to jail - there is no middle ground.^[1] The teachers here can either follow the state law and risk being charged with a crime (by Herr Dunce over there to the left), or they can follow what this idiot says and risk losing their jobs. That's a pretty tough decision, especially in these economically trying times.
