A district attorney in Juneau County, Wisconsin, warned teachers in a memo sent to schools that if they teach the new sexual education curriculum mandated under state law, they could be arrested for contributing to the delinquency of a child.

Because the law requires teachers to instruct children not only about contraceptives but about how to use them, Juneau County District Attorney Scott Southworth said, schools are forced to encourage students to "engage in sexual behavior, whether as a victim or an offender."

And since minors can't legally have sex in Wisconsin, teachers would essentially be endorsing the behavior and could be held liable, Southworth said in the letter.

"It is akin to teaching children about alcohol use, then instructing them on how to make mixed alcoholic drinks," he wrote.

2. One of two teachers I gave credibility to in high school was my sex ed teacher.

No BS from him. Told us on Day One there was no "safe" day as far as using no contraception.

4. But I thought they practiced putting the condom on a banana?

This is so confusing. Can you get pregnant if the banana is wearing a condom? :crazy:

In the back seat of a 1959 Plymouth Savoy. :rofl:
