The Kentucky Derby isn’t run until May 4. But when it comes to the Kentucky Irony derby, we already have a winner!
WDRB-TV in Louisville has a story with this headline: “Norton Children's opens new center combatting child abuse at the Home of the Innocents.” For a split second, I thought: Wow! They’re putting in monitors to stop the child abuse at Home of the Innocents – abuse exposed in this story from the Kentucky Center for Investigative Reporting.
No such luck. The new
center is just another “counseling” and “parent education” program. But hey, when your state supposedly is a
cesspool of depravity with vastly more child abuse than most, won’t anything
help? Except
that is a myth, repeated over and over by those still wedded to promoting
what’s been aptly called “health
terrorism” in which horror stories and distorted data are used to stampede
people away from real solutions.
