The coverup and transfer also happens with teachers; a friend of mine works in the public education system in a blue state, and he's told me of multiple instances of teachers getting caught trying to diddle and simply being transferred instead of charged.
I'm not sure how much this still goes on, but it wasn't uncommon in the past for school districts to tell teachers accused of misbehaving with students to silently resign and surrender their teaching licenses to effectively memory hole everything. This is in addition to the above scenario where teachers were told to leave without caising a ruckus and become someone else's problem. If it wasn't for governmental immunity, we'd see school districts being sued as much as Catholic dioceses over this.
The left does this in general in their innermost circles -- unions, trannies, faggots, etc -- but the idea of them making excuses for say, their country is completely incomprehensible to them.
It's another example of a good idea taken too far. Solidarity with a group in and of itself isn't a bad thing. When it becomes forced or compulsory blind devotion no matter what, however, that when it becomes a bad thing and opens the door for groups trying to protect either from deserved consequences for bad behavior. That's never healthy.
For example you can't use plastic bags at grocery stores so now groceries stores have to shell out a bit more for "reusable" cloth bags.
But what are the cloth bags made out of? If you guessed plastics congratulations! It's all performative bullshit! Just like how they won't let you have a straw or utencils unless you ask for them, but everyone gives them away anyway because everyone wants straws. Or how those straws had to be paper until people complained so much about them they gave up on that.
This reminds me of the state, possibly in PNW, that was one of the first to pass laws restricting phosphorous use in dishwasher detergent. The low/no phosphorous formulations were so much more ineffective, people had to do extra wash and rinse cycles - defeating any benefit of the reduced phosphorus policies.
I have no idea why black people just don't get the small misdemeanor and like, get bailed out for $50 after getting processed. Shit, probably don't even need to be processed if the theft is less then $150. Legit, they would rather endanger their child and attempt murder instead of getting a trespass notice.
Sadly, the days of store owners just asking to get paid for the merchandise to make matters go away are gone - even in areas where such "restorative justice" is otherwise encouraged. It probably doesn't help that most people caught in the act today get violent and are stealing for any reason other than the desperation of needing whatever it is they swiped.
They wore bible verses that reference to rainbow...
Some people I know with conservative religious values have talked about "reclaiming the rainbow" as a religious symbol. Even if these players aren't part of that movement, I can't blame them for expressing their pride in the spiritual aspects of the rainbow versus the sexual aspects being promoted by mass media and entertainment entities.
I'd love to see these players file a grievance if they get fined or sanctioned further if for no other reason than for MLB to admit that it - like every other pro sport - has a political interest in embracing the LGBTetc community at the expense of marginalizing everyone else.
How much money is the MLB really making from the gay pride crap?
If they have pride-themed everything for sale at both the ballpark and their online stores this month, I imagine they're making a decent chunk of money from LGBTetc fans and allies who feel obligated to empty their wallets in support. I'd be curious to know what groups benefit from the proceeds.
Are younger people even going to church or has it just been poisoned by the groyper types?
Empirically young adults in this part of Kiwi Land seem to be gravitating towards churches with conservative leanings - especially Catholic Churches. This is interesting given the diocese has a rather liberal bishop who despises anything conservative with a passion and is trying to rid himself and the diocese of the conservative people and traditions church-goers like. Elsewhere, the experience may differ.
