Who will guard the guardians?


Ben Levin, former deputy minister of minister for Ontario, has pleaded guilty to child pornography charges.

Although Levin was in charge of the Ministry of Education during much  of the time that the province's new sex education curriculum was being formulated, the Premier says Levin didn't have a hand in it.

It is impossible to know if this is true, because who knows what activities Levin's sick mind could have led him to, but in a way it's not really relevant. Rather, Levin's behaviour reflects a culture, a way of thinking, at the miinistry, whereby ministry officials are more enlightened than ordinary people and know what's best. As a result, these education bureaucrats are (in their minds) justified in imposing their opinions and beliefs on lesser mortals.

Further, it's quite possible that this arrogant attitude extends as far as the Premier's office.
