					<description><![CDATA[There is more than one issue here.  1) Educators and school boards and teachers’ associations are at fault for doing away with civics in school curricula.  Students need to study the Constitution, Political Science, and the Founding Fathers if we expect parents to participate as educated voters and the public in the exercise of just governance.  Shame on educators.  2) People in the community need to educate themselves or be educated in freedom of speech and the injustices to former offenders.  Educators in their official capacity need to be free to act in ways consistent with their jobs as educators, including supporting injustices and recommendations they see fit making.  It is only when their views degrade their institution or act in ways inconsistent with their institution that they might be censored.  3)  Laws made irresponsibly that separate parents from their children need to be done only when safety or risk is an issue.  It should default in favor of family and parents when there exists no real evidence to the contrary.  Remember that those on the sex offender registry include those breaking a myriad of laws from nonviolent ones to violent ones.  Few create risk, as most new sexual offenses are committed by strangers, family, or friends.  Lawmakers are at fault for not cleaning up the list to narrow the list to those that actually are threats.  Shame on lawmakers.  Remember that scholars and their studies have debunked all the rhetoric about recidivism risk, about proximity to places where children gather – they gather everywhere, signs on lawns are shameful.  We need more exposure to public media to expose the draconian laws and policies that continue to unjustly plague this population of American citizens.]]></description>
