What do you make of this American one?

Bad actor -and- dissembler in one.

runs a Christian pre-kindergarten? Sounds like a lovely chap.

Still - the truth about political involvement with paedophiles here is still unknown, so I wouldn't make any rash transatlantic comparisons.

what's with all the "you thought"-ing?

@jno

More accurate to say that he runs something the Fed government is happy to fork out $900,000 per year for, as it's aimed at the underprivileged yet, at te same time he is working on legislation to block access to public services by illegal/undocumented citizens. So it would be interesting to see of he stands to make a packet from running a near empty school or if it is crowded by the type of families he imagined would be undocumented (per Faux News propaganda) but turn out to have their papers all in perfect order. ;-)

My finger skidded on the screen when picking up my phone and selected best Answer by accident.

No offence, jno, but I don't want the thread to grind to a halt so soon. Hope you don't mind if I select a subsequent reply as BA?

@Woofgang

"all the"?? It was only two. (Okay, so it was two in a row but what the hey?)

I couldn't think of another way to phrase it.

It would be bad enough, just getting rid of the girls in the manner he did. But he continued to pocket the state assistance money when they had gone.
He will probably escape any punishment for handing the girls over to a rapist, but get slaughtered for embezzling money off of the Government.

I would think his political career is over, unless the PR firm he has employed can work miracles.

"It would be bad enough, just getting rid of the girls in the manner he did. But he continued to pocket the state assistance money when they had gone. "


In my haste to post, I'd actually overlooked that bit. Well spotted!

(the £900k/yr for the preschool for kids of the undocumented is another matter entirely).

you go right ahead, Hypgnosis, though I don't think BA's bring threads to a halt except in Crosswords.

This story is still developing. Starting to be more R&S, in some respects, though.

How long before our Faith Schools end up like this?
