I officially give up trying to understand american mentality. As far as I can see, it’s turning into a radical, fundamental, puritanical, hypocritical – and any other sort of -al you want to throw at it farce of a once great nation.
A Wisconsin district attorney has warned schools in his county that if they proceed with new state sex-education courses, teachers could face criminal charges for encouraging minors to have sex. He said that a new state law that requires students learn to use condoms and other contraceptives “promotes the sexualization – and sexual assault – of our children.”
“If a teacher instructs any student aged 16 or younger how to utilize contraceptives under circumstances where the teacher knows the child is engaging in sexual activity with another child – or even where the ‘natural and probable consequences’ of the teacher’s instruction is to cause that child to engage in sexual intercourse with a child – that teacher can be charged under this statute” of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. […] Forcing our schools to instruct children on how to utilize contraceptives encourages our children to engage in sexual behavior, whether as a victim or an offender,” he wrote. “It is akin to teaching children about alcohol use, then instructing them on how to make mixed alcoholic drinks.”
Way to go there, Cletus…
