I've never heard anyone suggest that with any of our predominately female volunteers. I just found that kind of interesting.
That's a very smart move for the school to cover it's a$$. I don't think it's a stretch to say that the vast majority of sex offenders are male. Although they should also check the background of the females, when you think sex offender, isn't it a man's image that comes to mind?
