Wisconsin recently passed a law mandating medically-accurate, age-appropriate sex education that includes information about birth control about STI prevention. The Juneau County District Attorney, Scott Southworth, is threatening to arrest teachers who comply with the law:
In his letter, Southworth told school district leaders the new law promotes sexual assault of children, and warns that teachers who follow the law could be charged with misdemeanor or felony delinquency of a minor, with maximum punishments ranging from nine months in jail to six years in prison.
"For example, 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 statue," Southworth wrote.
His job is to enforce the law. He is instead enforcing his own law. Fire him. Now.
** Note: Not surprisingly, this is the same asshole who sued the University of Wisconsin for charging him student fees that fund student organizations he disagreed with. The Supreme Court shut him down. **
