Utah to Residents: “You Weren’t Using that Brain, Were You?”
Utah, fertile land of censorship, book banning, and the usual infringements upon Constitutional rights. The other 49 states have come to expect this from Utah, but every family has its black sheep. The US is no exception.
Utah lawmakers’ latest attempt to keep children safe from the outside world
“Service providers which fail to disable access to pornography sites on the list, following a users request, can be subject to felony charges… Commentators are concerned about the vagueness of the law, and point out that the definition of provider is so broad that it could cover just about anything, including private homes with unencrypted wifi access points.”
Commentators are concerned about what?! How about further confusing the already confused children who dwell within the land of sister-polygyny, lame sex education , the nation’s most notorious polygamist , and bizarre liquor laws. Can you imagine being married to several women, not knowing how babies are made, being likened to Tom Green and not being able to drink it away after 7pm? Now, you can’t have porn, either! Madness!
This latest suggestion is not even close to the problem brought by a parent this January which alleged that the Red Cross blood donor questions are:
“very sexually explicit questions without parental consent,” said Ogborn, 37, who argued that state law dictates the sexual content to which students can be exposed, and by whom. Technicians’ questions like, “Have you ever had sex with a male who has sex with another male?” go too far, Ogborn said. “As a parent, how I read it, it looks to me like it violates the law.”
I think someone has control issues.
