Guy with mustache shows up at school, says he 'loves children'


Apparently Canada has a real rigid screening process for their teachers because this guy got hired. If a guy with a mustache showed up at a school in America and declared he "loved children" the cops would be called immediately to arrest the suspected pedophile.

Western society and it's fear that every adult male that shows any affection or makes any eye contact with any child other than their own in any ways somehow wants to abduct them makes me laugh. People swallow the media kool-aid so easily.. or perhaps the elite that control the media know something about human genetics and our biological behavior that they won't come out and admit....

In any case he should not have gotten the job because like most professions these days you don't just 'get them' without inches thick worth of paperwork, drug tests, background checks, etc.

Yeah, didn't you know. ANYONE can teach children. It's not like you need a training course first or anything.

And of course there ARE demands for screening of adults before they are allowed to work with children, but that's just silly bureaucracy and not something that the parents are going to care much about.

And if he starts whacking kids round the back of the head in what seems to be the most well-behaved class ever, that's not going to raise any flags either.

Heck, he'll probably be able to take pot-shots at a recently deceased teacher in front of her friends and co-workers without anyone getting terribly upset. Everyone's just seriously laid back, y'know?



That was all sarcasm btw...
