When confronted with this article, the so-called “fact checker” Lead Stories published absurd apologia, audaciously equating pedophiles to the visually impaired.
In their faltering attempt to undermine critics of the totalitarian World Economic Forum, whose representatives champion decriminalizing pedophilia (a move that would in great probability benefit most of both Lead Stories staff and WEF members), they provided a quote:
>“There's no question that the extension of civil rights protections to people with pedophilia must be weighed against the health and safety needs of others, especially kids. It stands to reason that a pedophile should not be hired as a grade-school teacher. But both the A.D.A. and the Rehabilitation Act contain exemptions for people who are "not otherwise qualified" for a job or who pose "a direct threat to the health and safety of others" that can't be eliminated by a reasonable accommodation. (This is why employers don't have to hire blind bus drivers or mentally unstable security guards.)”
In short, the quote made the vile assertion that pedophiles, rather than being evil and destructive by nature (which they are), are merely impaired, like the blind, and can be functional members of society, so long as they aren’t put in positions that might harm others.
Lead Stories has no more business being treated as a “credible source” for “facts” than a pedophile has teaching kindergarten.
