Ask Dr. Helen: Should Men Be Kicked Out of the Church Nursery?
I’ll not comment on the rightness or wrongness of any of this–to do so would put me at risk of being identified as a paedophile.
But I have nightmares about the many years that I worked with girls softball teams, soccer teams, co-ed marching bands, and several other such activities.
I never once did anything that was wrong then or wrong now, but there are thousands of situations which could be part of somebody’s recovered memory fantasies against which I would have no defense at all. We have three daughters and my wife was closely involved in all of that.
No male in his right mind would have anything to do with anybody else’s children, (or his own, I guess) in this day and age where you can’t even have a bank scandal (cf. Omaha world Herald for 1989 and 1990 for some of the most lurid, there have been others more recently) with “child sex abuse” as a major component.
