For those of you who don't want to bother to click the link, here you go:
Hmmmmmmm..... let's see. Extreme right, false claims, misinformation, low credibility, questionable source.......
And they're the only ones talking about this. If the only media outlet that's talking about something has such low credibility, I'm inclined to question them. Otherwise, we'd all be firmly convinced that batboy is flying around out there because that's what the National Enquirer told us 30 years ago.
Also, anyone who knows anything about video editing and communication and media knows how easy it is to take an innocent conversation and turn it into something malicious.
Even with video edit, the comments themselves are no spliced. The edits are just different comments. What kind of "innocent conversation" includes the details of the introduction of sex toys to minors? The logical "convesation" is that of a broader style of pedagogy and the dean detail a specific example.
Oh, ye of little imagination.
Do you know why any half-way decent lawyer is going to advise you to never EVER talk to cops? Because they're very good at getting you to say something that they can use against you. Doesn't have to be something true and doesn't have to be something you would usually say. I don't doubt for a second that it's equally easy for "reporters" to manipulate people in an equally easy method. Especially for public school teachers who, unfortunately, are notoriously low paid for the amount of education their profession requires; I can very easily see a teacher, struggling with a car payment and a mortgage and other bills, saying whatever you want for $1000 or so.
