UK Schools Ban Parents From Attending Athletic Events Because A Parent Could Be A Pedophile
Because everyone knows a proud school administrator means more to a child than a proud parent


"If we let parents into the school they would have been free to roam the grounds" said Paul Blunt of the East Bedfordshire School Sports Partnership. "The ultimate fear is that a child is hurt or abducted, and we must take all measures possible to prevent that."

Parents end up in last place

And what do the parents have to say about this, although it obviously doesn't matter?  Mother-of-three Emma Collet of Biggleswade, said, "I'm all for measures to protect the safety of children but lines must be drawn and common sense must prevail."

So, why weren't the parent's asked for their opinion before the policy was placed into effect?  Think about it.  If a parent might be a pedophile, then anyone opposing the ban might do so because they are a pedophile and so the only opinions that administrators could accept without suspicion would be those supporting them and so why bother asking?

"If you followed the thinking of this ban you wouldn't be able to let your child out of the front door,"  
said Nick Seaton, chairman of the Campaign for Real Education.
