Those lying bible beaters

Christian School Faces Suit After Coaches Molested Three Students. So much for caring about the children. The officials at Open Bible Christian School in Newberg, Oregon hired two male basketball coaches who are now serving time for molesting female students after liquoring them up.

What nice Christian behavior. Perhaps the administrators would have found out whether or not these teachers should have been around kids, or even qualified to do their jobs.

"Had [school officials] done a criminal background check on either man, or even a legal background check on either man," [Portland attorney Kelly] Clark contends, "they would have seen things that would have told them these weren't the kind of guys that they wanted to have working as coaches at a Christian school."

In the coaches' case, such a check would have revealed "nothing related to sex," the Oregon attorney admits. However, he says, a basic record-check would have uncovered enough information to give a clear indication of the men's character, including documentation of DUIIs (driving under the influence of intoxicants), failure to pay child support, evictions, and driving with a suspended license.

But you know what really puts icing on the cake about this BS? The school didn't support the assaulted girls throughout the incident, and then lied about the fact the administrators never did the background check at all. Good Christian Liars.

Meanwhile, the Open Bible Christian School's initial reaction to the allegations against its employees was less than truthful once the matter became public. "The school officials, whether because of a siege mentality or what, immediately after all this broke were quoted in the local newspaper as saying, 'When we did background checks on these men, neither of them had criminal records, etc., etc.'

"But we now know from documents and depositions that they didn't do background checks at all," Kelly says. "And when that came to the attention of the school officials and the church officials, we can't figure out why they didn't come forward and say, 'You know what? We misspoke. We never did a background check on these guys, and we're sorry that we misspoke.'"
