The State of Utopia, the 51st State in the union, is dedicated to using legislation to make its state the safest, most prosperous state in the entire union.
Senator Killjoy of the Utopia State Legislature drafted a bill entitled “Keeping Utopia’s Female Minority Youth Safe and Sound.” The provisions of this bill would establish a statewide curfew between the hours of 10 p.m and 6 a.m. for non-emancipated Hispanic, African-American, Native American, and Asian females under the age of 18.
The state’s justification for this legislation is nationally accepted research proving that minority females under the age of 18 are disproportionately likely to be assaulted, injured in accidents, or engage in underage sexual activity between the hours of 10 p.m and 6 a.m. The bill was passed by both houses of the state legislature and signed into law by the governor.
