Wisconsin GOP legislative leadership lives in a mixed-up, shook-up world when it comes to youth priorities

From the AP
Children ages 14 and 15 would no longer need a work permit or parental permission to get a job under a bill Republican Wisconsin lawmakers released on Friday. [emphasis added]
The proposal comes amid a wider push by state lawmakers to roll back child labor laws and despite the efforts of federal investigators to crack down on a surge in child labor violations nationally. 
Under current law, 14- and 15-year-olds in Wisconsin are prohibited from working most jobs unless they have permission from a parent or guardian and have verified their age with the state Department of Workforce Development.

The social media bill requires anyone 18 and youngers to get parental permission to open a social media account.  It's the nanny state in full flower.

Meet the voices of reason.
