Father goes to jail because his adult daughter fails GED test.

If anyone should be put in jail it should be the judge for malfeasance in office. From where do the courts get the right to order someone to pass a GED test in the first place? Why jail the father and take away his ability to make a living because the kid is stupid, lazy or skipping her lessons? Kids drop out of school all the time at 16 in this country and do not get a GED so should millions of parents be put in jail? How does the Father make a 18 year old adult pass the test? If he even tried some discipline on this adult he could be sued or jailed for that. What kind of demented nut case would dispense justice like this? Who allows it? The Judge should be put in a padded room. Where are the civil liberties groups?

Daughter fails math test, so dad thrown in jail

A northern Kentucky man is in jail today – serving a 180-day sentence – because his 18-year-old daughter failed a math test and didn’t get her General Equivalency Diploma, or GED, as a previous court order required.

Brittany Gegner, the daughter, says if anyone should be jailed, it should be her.
