The gutter press broke a story over the weekend that has caused a huge fuss and may very well cost a couple of well meaning people thier jobs and probably careers.
Headline
PEADO ALLOWED TO TEACH IN SCHOOL.
The Story
The British Education minister gave a convicted sex offender full backing to teach in a school when his background was uncovered.
Horrified yet? nice headline huh? strikes fear into the heart of evry parent.
The truth
Said sex offender was never convicted of child abuse, he was fined for indecent assualt of a 15 year old that he married when she turn 16 and they spent 19 years married and had 3 children together.
The "indecent assault" was kissing her it seams, The Minister judged that he ws no threat to children and given his exemplary teaching record other than this 1 offence let him carry on working.
Sure this guy was no angel, but he did everything possible to make up for a mistake he made because of love.
Sometimes i think free speech is just not worth it.
