[Cicero]

The choir’s demise as a functional organization was a result of many factors, but everyone agrees it was set in motion by a single episode: an accusation by a 14-year-old boy in 2001 that a counselor on the choir’s staff had sexually abused him. The counselor eventually was sentenced to two years in prison.

Whether or not this guy was actually guilty, isn't it strange that whenever this happens in a GOOD organization, it becomes a terrible scandal that is used to shut down the organization. Yet here we are now, and Obama's Safe School Czar wants to teach ALL our kids to do this sort of thing, and evidently that's OK.

Democrats do it, that's politically correct. Christians do it, throw the book at them and use it as an excuse to destroy all of them, not just the guilty parties.

Is sex with minors OK, or isn't it? And can we stop using it as an excuse to destroy all the best things in our civilization instead of dealing specifically with the problem?

I remember the Harlem Boys Choir well, and I'm very sorry to hear about this. One more decent institution down the drain.
