In 2009, Todd Wilson — the now 54-year-old former-principal of the Clark County Area Technology Center in Winchester, Kentucky — banned several books from his school because of their “homosexual content.” Now, 10 years later, color us shocked, Wilson has been arrested for allegedly sharing kiddie smut.
Kentucky state troopers claim that Wilson “had about 15 images of child pornography, which resulted in 15 counts of distribution of matter portraying sexual performance by a minor, and another 15 counts of possessing matter portraying sexual performance by a minor,” according to Newsweek.
He’s now being held on $25,000 bail in the Clark County Detention Center.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Back in 2009, Wilson banned books like “Lessons From a Dead Girl by Jo Knowles (which features two young girls who kiss and touch each other while playing an abusive game of “House”) and Twisted by Laurie Halse Anderson (in which a newly buff high school student gets accused of being gay for not wanting to sleep with a girl)” as optional selections offered by one of the English teachers to her students, according to Kentucky School News and Commentary.
Admittedly, Wilson also banned a few other books which didn’t delve into LGBTQ themes, but that doesn’t make his actions any less hostile to LGBTQ kids who could’ve benefit from reading any depictions of same-sex attraction, even complicated ones.
The books he banned also delved into other important topics like alcoholism, hypocrisy, suicide and manipulation by adults — all important themes that you won’t always find in classics like Beowulf.
While the banned books remained available in the school library and the school’s Moo Moo Book Club, far fewer students found them there than they would have had they been suggested for class reading.
The Montgomery County High School administration, the local school board and district superintendent supported the banning and are now working with authorities in their case against Wilson.

Gee I wonder what his political affiliation is. Lol
Anti gay = closet cases, child molesters or just hate grifters looking for $ from the religious loonies. Something we’ve known for a long time.

He is not a closet case, he is a pedofile (in fact we don’t even know if the minors were boys or girls)

In fairness to Chrisk [with whom I do not always agree], he did not say this man was a closet case. Go back and read the comment again.

So basically he is in charge of the tech school programs of the high school. They did have a health services course but mostly, auto mechanics, welding, industrial drawing with a little “how to repair your personal computer” class. I’m thinking he was around boys most of the time.

Why are the worst homophobes always pedophiles?
My sister in law, God bless her, was a leading psychiatrist and I asked her one day what she thought of homosexuality, since she was raising a tribe of teenage boys, who were all at an all male school.
She thought for a moment, then said (very slowly and carefully) that – “People who worry about other people’s sexuality are not confident in their own!”
This guy is a classic example of what she meant!

minors can be an infant or as old as 17 years old depending on the state (17 is age of consent in New York and 16, in Madrid, where I am). people throw around the word pedophile like they throw about the word sexual assault. Technically, if you are attracted to sexually developed (old enough to have a child) teenagers from around 15-19, it is ephebophilia, but why bother with words people can’t pronounce.
And there are gay pedophiles, straight ones, and pedos who don’t discriminate.

Lord have you ever? Three quarters of this article is about banned books but only one paragraph dedicated to his arrest? Were they little girls or boys? Were they on his computer? Lord, I ask you.

I bet he is a Republican! Everytime I read an article about sexual abuse to boys/men, it is a Republican and often a religious bigot.
