All true and fair.
But unlike the Boy Scouts which implemented Two-Deep leadership protocols and other controls to guard against abuse, frommy reading not many school districts have equally-robust controls in place. Why?

Well the Boy Scouts got burned after years of covering such things up. Teaching is a low paying profession, which is now experiencing a teacher shortage. Going after teachers for "grooming", which is itself not likely a crime, means fewer teachers. Why would anyone want to risk a criminal prosecution for engaging in constitutionally protected conduct? There's a difference between punishing the truly guilty, and a witch hunt that targets people honestly trying to make a difference in their little corner of the world.

There's a difference between punishing the truly guilty, and a witch hunt that targets people honestly trying to make a difference in their little corner of the world.

Absolutely. But by the leaders of institutions today largely, perhaps overwhelmingly, fall in one of these categories:

1. Those can't tell the difference.
2. Those who can tell the difference, but are so afraid of finding themselves the target of a witch hunt, they act as if they cannot.
3. Those who can tell the difference, but who find it, personally, politically or financially gratifying to participate in witch hunts, and thus act as if they cannot.

Teaching is a low paying profession, which is now experiencing a teacher shortage.

Lie.

Out and out lie.

Teaching is at worst a middle class profession and in poor areas teachers are often the highest paid people in the area.

Going after teachers for "grooming", which is itself not likely a crime, means fewer teachers.

Got it.

Ok Groomer.
