Flawless Heroes? It is important for youth to have heroes but society cannot ignore the facts and only report on the good side of those heroes. Everyone is human‚ and they are going to make mistakes. Hopefully they learn from those mistakes‚ and if those mistakes are brought to light and conveyed to the young people then they too learn from those mistakes.
