Man jailed in GED case released but may be jailed again

The separation of school and life is such a distant memory that back in May a Fairfield, Ohio, man was jailed all because his adult daughter failed to get her GED. The man was accused of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, even though his daughter was 18 and was therefore an adult. Not only that, but the daughter was in fact going to classes - so even if she was still a minor she would not be truant.

In other words, the father broke no laws but was sent to jail anyway.

The fact that the man was jailed for something like this was the same old story of the system throwing its weight around just because it can.

Now he's been released. But the system still hasn't learned from the outcry that resulted from his incarceration. So now they're threatening to send him back to jail if his daughter doesn't get her GED by November.

Stupidity is commonly defined as doing the same fucked-up shit over and over and expecting a different result. And that's exactly what the court is doing.
