Why else would the newspaper run a story about a sex offender officiating high school games? To praise him for rehabilitating himself?
I think I understand the point that you were trying to make as well. But to say that we were not discussing the potential for a sex offender to repeat his crimes simply ignores the whole basis of the thread.

The problem is you are focused on one topic, I was commenting on another topic. If that is what you were talking about, do not project that on what I was saying. I never addressed the original topic but to only say that what kinds of background checks are done in my state. I made a throw away statement about hypocrisy and just as predicted a few of you bit on the comments. If that bothers you that I made my statement, I guess you will just have to be upset. I still was not referring to the story of the official caught that was a sex offender. You cannot make me refer to something because that is what you are concerned with.
Peace
