A man ordered by a judge to make sure his daughter studied has found himself in jail because she failed to earn a high school equivalency diploma.

She's 18 and doesn't live with him, for the record.

Guess the State!

Well, Florida doesn't actually care about education, so I'm going with Ohio!

And women aren't people, in Ohio, so sending a man to jail for her actions is what makes sense!

The article says she has a kid. No man's going to want her, since he's already damaged goods! Why is the court worried about a little thing like education?

Ok, that's insane. I know truancy a problem but it's still madness.

In Soviet Russia, maps were routinely censored to hide sensitive areas from prying eyes¹.

It is well past time to petition the UN to have Ohio erased from all maps, and the word itself stricken from dictionaries and encyclopaedias.




¹ Internal prying eyes, it seems, since said areas appeared on all of the foreign-published maps

I wonder what kind of precedent the "it was a problem before they had their majority" ruling will set. He stole when he was fifteen, then stole again when he was nineteen - lock up the parents!
