Some of the worst are laws against cohabitation. I think there was a case in North Carolina or somewhere where a woman was denied some sort of government benefit because she was cohabitating.

"No pass, no drive" laws are laws that revoke driver's licenses from teenagers for bad academic performance - while rewarding those who bully them. These laws are actually classist (because kids from poor backgrounds are already discriminated against by schools), and they penalize kids with dyslexia.

Pretty much anything enacted by the fascist 104th Congress was bad.

Also, Singapore has a law making it illegal to chew bubble gum, but that's not the U.S.

That one PA law that pops up on /r/legaladvice all the time about terrible parents being able to sue their children for financial support.

So parents in Pennsylvania can sue their kids to make them pay for their eyeglasses they had in grade school? Or some other medical expense?
