Kentucky Atheist Teacher @ChrisRenfrow Wants to Repeal Statutory Rape Laws?

Posted on Comments

The statutory age of consent in Kentucky is 16, the same as in Florida, where accused sex offender Kaitlyn Hunt is in jail awaiting trial for her lesbian affair with a 14-year-old girl. The “Free Kate” online crusade that Hunt’s parents started in May argues that Hunt, who was an 18-year-old high school senior at the time of her crimes, is a victim of homophobic prejudice. Hunt’s supporters say she should not be prosecuted because she and the younger girl were “peers,” and that having sex with a 14-year-old was merely a “high school romance.” So . . .

Say hello to a high school English teacher who got into a Twitter argument about whether sex with 14-year-olds should be illegal:

Self-described “proud atheist” Chris Renfrow teaches at Fern Creek Traditional High School in Louisville, Kentucky, and seems to have an oddly contemptuous attitude toward statutory rape laws:





After this Twitter argument had continued a while, someone started CC’ing me into the argument, along with Jeanette Runyon, who has been a real warrior in the fight to stop the “Free Kate” campaign to overturn Florida’s age-of-consent law. When someone in the argument pointed out that Renfrow is a high school teacher, I tried to warn him that he had wandered into a minefield, i.e., “Like, maybe this isn’t exactly a smart use of social media for you, hint, hint.”

Rather than take heed of his best interests, however, Renfrow then began to spew ad hominem attacks. Well, OK, then . . .

[DELETED: See update below]

Perhaps Kentucky’s Most Famous Atheist School Teacher™ would like to explain to the parents, taxpayers and school board members in Louisville why having sex with 14-year-olds shouldn’t be regarded as an actual crime, because, y’know, “grey area” and stuff.

[DELETED: See second update below]

The greatest thing about the First Amendment? Arrogant fools have the right to expose themselves as idiots, and then to whine like little bitches when they get called out for their foolishness.

UPDATE: According to Renfrow’s LinkedIn profile, he was recently laid off from his teaching job and is now seeking employment in the retail field, so I’ve deleted the contact information for his former employers. We wish Mr. Renfrow luck in seeking a retail position. Maybe they’re hiring at Toys ‘R’ Us or Chuck E. Cheese . . .

UPDATE II: Longtime commenter Diana Deeley complained about the use of the photo; so I deleted it. Of course, Diana didn’t see how Kentucky’s Most Famous Atheist School Teacher™ was deliberately taunting Christians — “superstitious,” he said to one — and personally attacking Jeanette Runyon, when he imagined he might conduct himself in such a haughty manner with impunity.

I may have more to say later, but for now am pleased to note the accuracy of my prophecy: Renfrow and his fellow atheists are now whining like little bitches, just as I predicted.

  2. The subject of this post is making noises on Twitter about suing you for libel. I suggest he re-read your post very carefully and look for a factual assertion, I will repeat that, A FACTUAL ASSERTION, that supports what he is claiming that you said.

  4. Is it a full moon? Because they are coming out of the woodwork at you, RSM. The atheists are cooing and stroking one of their flock, Mary what’s-her-name, a blogger, is outraged over your clearly humorous lesbian article. Ironically, she is, ahem, blogging about it. This after clicking over here to read the offending prose, and then criticizing you for trolling for blog hits. Clearly, you succeeded. Oh, she also suspects that you are skinny. If you really want to upset her, throw up that pic of yourself in that disgraceful Speedo, and ask her to make you a sammich. I need more popcorn.

  9. Grown men generally don’t fixate on issues of sexual consent with 14yos.

    It scares me how many people are statutory rape apologists.

  12. Would someone explain to me how a person can avail himself/herself of a PUBLIC forum for PUBLIC assertions on all manner of topics yet still believe that he/she has some sort of privacy interest in those assertions, especially when those assertions can be discovered by anyone with a computer and a passing acquaintance with Google. The whole purpose of this social media stuff is to feed the inner narcissist in every human being. If you don’t want to be read, DON’T PUBLISH IT ON THE F-ING INTERNET!

  13. And don’t use a picture of your child as your twitter handle, send out almost 6000 tweets and have over 600 followers, and then complain when someone uses the picture. For Pete’s sake, what possessed the guy to use her picture???

  18. There’s an old saw that goes, in part, “If a conservative is an atheist, he doesn’t go to church. It a liberal is an atheist, he tries to get any and all mention of religion removed from public life.” I guess I’m proof of the former. This asshole Renfrow is obviously proof of the latter.

  20. Oh, no. Not really? That is his little daughter, not his fiancee in that picture? Please?

    Excuse me, I’m going to go throw up.

  22. Not the speedo picture – I’ve heard this tale, and I desperately hope never, ever to see that picture.

    Stacy looks skinny enough in the clothed pictures I’ve seen. And he smokes, which ought to send any proper feminist into hysterics.

  24. Yes, indeed it is. Stacy blocked out her face on his own when he posted the enlarged photo. There’s a line for the loo, by the way.

  25. So far he has called me the C word and a douchenozzle and a friend asked if I was dropped on my head as a child. Folks this was college does to you

  26. So he was a substitute teacher and did not have his teacher’s certificate from the State of Kentucky. There is probably a good morals requirement for the certificate. Maybe his attitude towards reporting statutory rape will prevent him from ever receiving a certificate.

  27. Let me get this straight. He stated that a high school senior having sex with a freshman is not a criminal and he is the bad guy? Using the black and white approach to the legal system surrounding this article, every teenager that gets pregnant should have the teenage father locked in jail for statutory rape and considering the extremely high rate of teenage pregnancy in the US, that would be a LOT of them. Good luck with that, by the way.

    You don’t want a justice system, you want robotic adherence to the legal system.
