Florida Attorney General Admits Why They Used the Fraudulent Dr. Rekers

Attorney General Bill McCollum finally admitted “There wasn’t a whole lot of choice” as the reason they picked Rekers to testify. Why “not a “whole lot of choice?” Because what sane person would do it?

This from the Orlando Sentinal

Attorney General Bill McCollum said last week that his agency did a “thorough search” to find him. He said Rekers had a Ph.D. from UCLA and experience testifying in similar cases.

Rekers did testify in Arizona in opposition to gay foster parents. But the judge there called his testimony “extremely suspect and of little, if any, assistance to the court.”

So much for a thorough search. McCollum then admitted the obvious about hiring Rekers:

“There wasn’t a whole lot of choice.”

It’s almost impossible finding a credible mental-health expert who supports a blanket ban on gay adoption. Research shows that it’s parent quality that matters, not parent sexual orientation.

You can hold him accountable for scraping the bottom of the barrel to fulfill this hateful policy.
