you are kidding right?
1) you completely missed the point of the article.
2) its not a valid comparison
Clashes Accuser was after money or something for being butthurt. The second accuser was in it for money period. Don't forget the first one ( that i know of) recanted his story.
The general was nothing more than a middle age man having an affair...Its because of who he was that the story mattered at all.
These two stories are nothing like Priests who touch little kids, nor the cover ups thats happened afterwords.
Context and the details matter.
How, exactly, did I miss the point of the article? Is it suddenly impossible to reach different, but not contradictory, conclusions from the same set of facts? Are priests that engage in sexual relationships with younger males also victims of sexual panic that comes from trying to shove sex back into the bedroom instead of allowing it to flow naturally in public where it belongs in a healthy society?
Tell me something, does this sound like a CYA statement, or dies it sound like PBS and Sesame Workshop think Elmo was wrong to engage in illegal activities with minors? Is part of teaching children to reach their highest potential involve fucking them now? Is that part of the new sex ed curriculum?
For the record, I entirely got the point of the op ed, it is clear that you totally missed my point though.Sesame Workshops mission is to harness the educational power of media to help all children the world over reach their highest potential. Kevin Clash has helped us achieve that mission for 28 years, and none of us, especially Kevin, want anything to divert our attention from our focus on serving as a leading educational organization. Unfortunately, the controversy surrounding Kevins personal life has become a distraction that none of us want, and he has concluded that he can no longer be effective in his job and has resigned from Sesame Street. This is a sad day for Sesame Street.
well Elmo didnt engage in sexual activities. Kevin Clash was accused of doing so, and whole one was recanted the other came out after words. There is no evidence to support these peoples claims.
It sounds like Sesame street and kevin are thinking about the kids and the affect this would have on them dipshit.
Stop using Elmo as a political football.
