What’s wrong with this headline?
Newsom signs bill requiring janitors to take $200 sexual assault training (https://justthenews.com/nation/states/center-square/newsom-signs-bill-requiring-janitors-take-200-sexual-harassment).
To me it reads like they mean to teach janitors how to commit sexual assault. “No, no, no, Swenson! You don’t say ‘How do you do?’ before you grab her!”
Buried deep in the text is a statement that the purpose of this new legislation is to protect female janitors from sexual harassment. Well, then, why the dickens didn’t they say so, right up front? Doesn’t anybody know how to write a news story anymore?
The article also leaves unclear the detail of who will pay for the training, the janitor or his employer. And it seems to be presumed that sexual harassment is NEVER committed by women.
All we can say for sure is that Newsom signed something involving janitors and sexual harassment… but we’re not sure what.
