Military Brings Prostitutes to Hotel
According to a military investigation, a dozen men of the U.S. military brought women, most likely prostitutes, to their hotel rooms in Colombia while also allowing dogs to soil the beds and building grounds.
This misconduct consisted of “patronizing prostitutes and adultery in violation of the UCMJ (Uniformed Code of Military Justice).”
Seven Army soldiers and two Marines have received administrative punishments for what the report described as misconduct consisting “almost exclusively of patronizing prostitutes and adultery.”
The investigation of military personnel came after nine U.S. Secret Service agents were dismissed for spending time with prostitutes that same month. The Secret Service members and the military were seen in the Colombian hotel with prostitutes prior to a Latin American summit which President Obama would be attending.
The moral of the story, apparently, is that if you want to engage in prostitution and adultery, you probably shouldn’t do it while on your employer’s expense account, particularly when the employer is Uncle Sam.
Repeat Child Sex Abuse in Boy Scouts
Proving the axiom that predators and sociopaths habitually occupy positions of moral authority, internal documents from the Boy Scouts of America reveal more than 125 cases in which scout leaders suspected of molestation allegedly continued to abuse Scouts, despite a blacklist meant to protect boys from sexual predators.
According to the Los Angeles Times, predators moved from troop to troop because of clerical errors, computer glitches or the Scouts’ failure to check the blacklist.
In at least 50 cases, the Scouts expelled suspected abusers, only to discover they had re-entered the organization and were accused of molesting again. One scoutmaster admitted to molesting more than 100 boys between 1970 and 1989.
The blacklist or “perversion files” name suspected child molesters and are used to vet applicants for volunteer and paid positions. The Boy Scout have fought in court to keep the records from public view, saying confidentiality was needed to protect victims, witnesses, and anyone falsely accused.
However, many of the files will be made public as a result of an Oregon Supreme Court decision after several news agencies petitioned for the release.
Perhaps if institutions like the Boy Scouts, Penn State University, and the local police cannot prevent child molestation, the following video may act a deterrent:
Transsexual Uses Equality Act Against School
A transgender student has used the Equality Act of 2010 to force his headmaster to allow him to take a GCSE exam wearing a skirt.
Ashlyn Parram, 16, who was born a boy but is undergoing gender reassignment treatment, said that at first he was told he could not sit at the exam because he was not wearing a boys’ uniform.
But when Ashlyn showed the headmaster a copy of the Equality Act, which stated he was to be treated the same as other pupils, he was allowed to take the exam. However, he says that when he returned he was put at the back of the room 40 ft from everyone else.
The Equality Act protects transsexuals from discrimination and harassment in a range of situations, including “by a teacher at school.”
Ashlyn first started clashing with the school when he was uncomfortable taking swimming lessons with other boys in the school and staff quietly let him skip classes. When he first started wearing a girl’s uniform to school he says he was banned from going outside during break.
Ashlyn may find Thailand more accommodating. For example, in northern Thailand schools have created special bathrooms just for transgender students.
