More of that great christian hypocrisy.....

An anti-gay Kentucky principal who made national headlines after banning-books with “homosexual content” has been arrested and charged for possessing and distributing child pornography.
Phillip Todd Wilson, the principal of the Area Technology Center located at George Rogers Clark High School, in Winchester, Kentucky, was arrested earlier this week on 30 counts of child pornography related crimes.
The Winchester Sun reports:
Phillip Todd Wilson, 54, of 1290 Fulton Drive, was arrested Tuesday afternoon at his home on 15 counts of possession of matter portraying a sexual performance by a minor and another 15 counts of distribution of matter portraying a sexual performance by a minor.
According to Wilson’s arrest citation, state troopers in Richmond received a complaint Tuesday morning that Wilson possessed “explicit child pornography” and had distributed it to another individual. KSP Detective Austin Brashear said in the citation that he interviewed Wilson and found approximately 15 images, and that he had distributed them within Clark County.
In 2009, when Wilson was the principal of Montgomery County High School, he came under fire for banning a number of books from the classroom for “homosexual content.”
The controversy was over a number of contemporary young-adult books being taught next to classic works like Beowulf. Teacher Risha Mullins used books including Lessons From a Dead Girl by Jo Knowles, Twisted by Laurie Halse Anderson, Deadline by Chris Crutcher and Unwind by Neal Shusterman as optional selections for her students, according to a contemporary report by the blog, Kentucky School News and Commentary.
