#OklaEd provides decades of access and protection for reported pedophile

"In Wetumka, Oklahoma, a town of around 1,400 residents within rural Hughes County, a pedophile has been abusing adolescent boys for decades," The V1SUT Vantage reports. "Brent McGee’s positions of trust as a teacher, coach, athletic director, and head of alternative education within public schools have provided him unrestricted access to vulnerable boys while his superintendent wife, Donna McGee, was positioned to prevent any internal investigations into his conduct. McGee’s longtime role as mayor/councilman in Wetumka put him in charge of the local police force, making his arrest for crimes against children unlikely to ever occur. Thanks to the actions of one brave man, that’s all about to end."
