See my post about Gabriel Gipe for something closer to what you want. Or 
BTR1701's post about LA teachers. I'm sure you'll find some way to 
rationalize dismissing these examples anyway; you always do.

I noticed that you completely ignored the videos about Palestinians 
beating their wives that started this thread, other than changing the 
subject to TV for Palestinian kids. I guess that means you've realized 
it would be a little awkward to actually DEFEND wife-beating although I 
feel sure you could do it.
