Today The<\/a> Civitas Institute (a North Carolina<\/a> conservative group) reported some interesting information on the recent bill passed in Charlotte<\/a> regarding transgender use of bathrooms. The article posted on their website reported some information that was omitted by one of the major Charlotte, North Carolina<\/a>, papers.<\/p>\n

The article at Civitas reports:<\/p>\n

For months, residents of Charlotte have been debating whether the city should (or in fact could) pass an ordinance allowing individuals who identify as transgender to use the men\u2019s or women\u2019s bathrooms in places of public accommodation. Those opposed to the ordinance have had serious concerns about its\u00a0effect on public safety.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This morning,\u00a0Breitbart<\/em> News\u00a0<\/em>is reporting that Chad<\/a> Sevearance, president of the Charlotte Business Guild<\/a>, who has taken a lead role in promoting the transgender bathroom ordinance, is a convicted and registered sex offender.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The article goes on to explain that Sevearance was convicted in 2000 of one charge of sexual molestation of a minor. He was required to register with the police for a minimum of ten years.<\/p>\n

The Civitas article concludes:<\/p>\n

This is not about further condemnation of Sevearance for his sexual offenses. (Although his advocacy group also knew he was a convicted child molester\u00a0and defended\u00a0him<\/a>\u00a0by calling reports\u00a0of his convictions \u201cmudslinging.\u201d) The justice system has dealt with him, and it is not my place to heap further condemnation on a man who surely has been thoroughly condemned. This is about the\u00a0Observer<\/a><\/em>\u2018s failure to report on how a major figure at the center of a debate involving sexual predators<\/a> and children has been convicted of being a sexual predator of children<\/em>. In this context, the\u00a0Observer<\/em>\u2018s failure is tantamount to concealment. It is unfortunately one more example of our media picking and choosing its causes, leaving the task of actual journalism up to Internet news<\/a> outlets.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I wonder if having this information before the vote would have changed any votes.<\/p>\n
