Reading the Los Angeles Times can be so uplifting. Today is no exception.
If the allegations are true, it is apparently too hard to keep child molesters from being teachers or administrators in our public schools. This article involves a Santa Monica school district, and this one involves Los Angeles’.
Then there’s this.
Once again, a hospital is getting criticized for giving a homeless patient a ride. This time it is extra bad because it was a ride into another county. I suppose the other realistic alternative – pushing them to the edge of the hospital property and then leaving them to find their own ride – is preferable?
It simply isn't realistic to expect the hospitals, who are already caring for someone who cannot reimburse them, to house the person until a permanent home can be secured for them, especially if that will be against their will or will require extensive psychological counseling.
