School book ban advocate Ryan Utterback faces child molestation charge

KANSAS CITY, Mo. —
A Gladstone man, who recently spoke in support of banning books from North "Kansas City School District libraries that depicted sexual acts, is facing a felony charge of second-degree child molestation and a misdemeanor charge of fourth-degree domestic assault."

It's ALWAYS projection. https://www.kmbc.com/article/northland-school-book-ban-advocate-ryan-utterback-child-molestation-charge/38927670

This morning I learned about Eric Gill, who is like a test case for every "can we separate the artist from his art?" debate you have ever had.

Don't know how I missed Gill, as his associates included artists who WERE on my radar, like David Jones & Eric Ravilious.

Also, he created Gill Sans & Perpetua. Wow.

Today's pro tip: try to live your life in such a way that your Wikipedia entry doesn't include the phrases "sexual abuse" & "sexual experiments with a dog".
