County Supervisors had a meeting yesterday and basically concluded that her firings were unrelated. Basically the right for the allege man outweighs the right of children in a public setting. I thought childporn is illegal regardless at home or Public Library. Where's dateline when we needed them!

What is this country coming to? We've traded freedom (which requires laws) for license (which requires no laws) and if this garbage keeps up, we'll soon reap a terrible harvest. That’s insane!
