We should never cover for their lunacy or their ignorance.

And, for those who may not understand what we are complaining about, the title should have been written as:

"Ohio Pastor Who Complained About Gay Graphic Novel at Daughter's School Pleads Guilty to Sexual Crimes Involving Children"

The term for such publications is 'graphic novel', which means it is presented and illustrated like a comic book. They switched the words.

And, we think it was done on purpose. Like, 'think it was' to the extent that we would swear it was.
