An extraordinary story of alleged sex abuse of students at elite private school over decades
The Washington Post ^ | May 27 | Valerie Strauss

Posted on 05/28/2015 5:52:50 AM PDT by grey_whiskers

A new report commissioned by concerned alumni of Horace Mann School, an elite private school in New York City, tells an extraordinary story of the sexual abuse of scores of students over decades by teachers, coaches, department heads, a headmaster, a school chaplain and a dean of guidance.

The findings build on revelations made public in recent years about sex abuse at Horace Mann, which was founded by Columbia University on its campus in 1887 but has long been an independent school in the Bronx, now with 1,782 students from nursery school through 12th grade. It costs $41,900 a year in tuition and fees for students.

Gee, if only they allowed elite school teachers to marry, this wouldn't have happened. /snark>

In other circumstances, we'd call this "grooming" ?

And this article ... how and why is it not called "homophobic" ? How can this article be used to raise wider questions about the acceptance of homosexuality? (Clicking on the link within the article, to the case of the boy who was assaulted by two homosexual prostitutes hired by school staffers, who then assulted the boy *themselves*, once the prostitutes were done with him...) NO cheers, unfortunately.

No, it’s only Catholic schools that abuse boys.

Homosexual pedophiles will naturally gravitate towards those professions and situations where they can have access to their prey.

I’m putting female gym coaches in this category as well.

Politically incorrect to state but a parent is simply negligent if he or she trusts their son with a homosexual alone under any circumstances.

Anyone that sexually abuses a kid should be executed. Zero tolerance.

I wonder how many freeper evangelicals will show up on this thread. They’d have to put down the mouse while scrolling for Catholic outrages for a second so...never mind.

This is a good example of why those who have been sexually abused don’t always come forward right after the abuse has taken place and why it can take DECADES to come forward, if they do at all. And the ones who did complain at the time it happened were either punished or their complaints were dismissed and the abusers continued abusing.

I imagine there are a hundred more that Bill Cosby drugged and abused that will never come forward. Some of them have compartmentalized the abuse to such an extent they no longer consciously remember it.

“Evangelical” biblical authority guy here,
not throwing stones at Catholic pedophile priests.

As I’ve said, the homosexual pedophiles will naturally gravitate towards their prey,
no matter the environment or institution.

Well the Horace Mann leftist education philosophy has been abusing children nationwide for decades.

Reality shows that even a man with a wife has no problem living a second life as a pedophile, I would apply equal expectations, however incorrect, to those who are homosexual, after all, PC isn’t really about equality, is it?

The first thing I looked for in your excerpt was the word "Homosexual" because that is exactly what I was expecting given the stated circumstances. I didn't see it, but your commentary leaves me no doubt that this is once more a case of homosexuals molesting people.

Just as the media typically excludes the race of perpetrators when the truth is not politically helpful, so too do they exclude the fact that more homosexuals are molesting/raping people.

Once more, the greatest problem this nation faces is how to sweep away all the censors of the truth in the national information streams.

At least some of the catholics on this forum insisted in the past that only catholics were ever accused.

Of course, there have also been police officers here insisting law enforcement were the only ones accused of sexual assaults on kids, and teachers whining that only allegations within the schools get attention.

All these little cliques that want their members be exempt from investigations.

Heterosexual and bisexual predators do the same, not just gays.

Read Anna Salter’s book on sexual predators.

IMO, this is somewhat of a tip of an iceberg that is floating beneath the surface of the United States.

There is massive abuse of our nation’s children taking place in this nation today.

Some of it is sexual in nature. It isn’t all heterosexual either. Some of it is as taboo as it can be.

I would also like people to think in terms of the mental damage these perpetrators inflict on their victims. And when we realize the mental problems these kids face, we have to look at something else that causes mental damage.

Our kids are being indoctrinated into all sorts of behaviors on the whims of adults that should know better. Whether they do or not, they should be nowhere near our children.

So yes, the sexual abusers deserve whatever they get as soon as it can be arranged.

What bothers me is that close to 100% of the nation’s children are being abused in one way or another, be it sexual or the indoctrination route.

The indoctrination crowd gets a free pass these days.

They shouldn’t. They are willing accomplices to Hitlarian brown shirt tactics.

Predators are busy in our homeland.
