I’m reminded vaguely of some trouble I got into at an old job for having a picture of Manfred von Richthofen in my cubicle. Some co-workers, hiding safely behind the blanket of anonymity, were apparently “uncomfortable with displaying pictures of Nazis in a work setting”. Never mind that there was no such thing as a Nazi in von Richthofen’s day, therefore no real basis for the accusation. It was close enough in the eyes of management to constitute doubleplusungood thoughtcrime and I had to take the picture down.

So yeah, you probably don’t need to commit a real crime anymore, only create enough an “appearance of impropriety” as to be considered just as guilty of the fact, especially with a societal sacred cow such as “The Children”.
