Kenneth Starr, Investigator Against Bill Clinton Sex Scandal, Fired From Baylor Over Sexual Abuse

University president and chancellor Ken Starr has been fire due to the university’s sexual assaults scandal. We want to note at this point that Mr. Starr is not a transgender person. Kenneth W. Starr worked in a stolid manner to take down Bill Clinton, but now he has been surprisingly praising the former president. There are always reasons for Starr’s actions. Timing is everything and Mr. Starr is apparently aware of that.

I'll bet Ken Starr won't do as well on the speaker's circuit, though, or write any best-selling books.

for, and they have a winning team right now, pretty much guaranteeing sold out seats and timely loan payments.

The other problem is that BU is affiliated with the Baptist General Convention of Texas, and no one is considering the moral question here. The university should be discussing their collective guilty conscience in not pursuing justice for these victims by firing the enablers, because the money is more important.

Of course, this is just my commentary and speculation.

Your commentary and speculation is spot on.

Thanks for adding to the discussion, I appreciate it.

Please feel free to correct it for clarity. Sometimes complex sentence structure gets the best of me.

Maybe this:

The university should be discussing their collective guilty conscience in not pursuing justice for these victims by firing the enablers, because those enablers value money over justice, equality, and security.
