Sexual Abuse by Educators Is Scrutinized

I know this will seem like a cheap shot at teachers, and it's not intended that way. But... it's a known fact that pedophiles seek employment and avocations that bring them into close contact with children, in positions of authority and trust. Priests, scoutmasters, teachers, for example.

The NEA no doubt is shielding as many horror stories as the Catholic Bishopry was. Only in school, homosexuality is seen as something the children need to keep an "open mind" about.

Something stinks. Watch the NEA squeal when their dirty laundry comes out...

If it comes out. The leftist press will sweep it under the rug, I suspect...

BTTT! I was just about to post this story!

**Extrapolating from data collected in a national survey for the American Association of University Women Educational Foundation in 2000, Ms. Shakeshaft estimated that roughly 290,000 students experienced some sort of physical sexual abuse by a public school employee from 1991 to 2000—a single decade, compared with the roughly five-decade period examined in the study of Catholic priests.**

Yet we are not hearing about this in the lamestream media!! We have to ask why?

Do they want to bash Catholics?
Do they want to keep the money coming to public schools?

Do they want to keep the kids coming to public schools?
All of the above?

**Based on a 2000 survey of 2,064 public school students in grades 8-11, "Hostile Hallways II: Bullying, Teasing, and Sexual Harassment in School" was a follow-up to a similar study the Washington-based AAUW conducted in 1993.**

We MUST give the AAUW credit here for a job well done! Look at those dates!

Now, now.

The NEA is truly a terrorist group. When NEA Educrats whine about homeschooling kids not be properly socialized, they must have sinster motives for the kids in light of this article.

Yet despite the limitations of the existing research base, the scope of the problem appears to far exceed the priest abuse scandal in the Roman Catholic Church, said Charol Shakeshaft, the Hofstra University scholar who prepared the report.

I doubt that this will ever receive play in the media. For one thing, it's not a "man bites dog" story. For another thing, it doesn't make Catholics or Christians look bad. Finally, schools are the temples of the Leftist religion, so anything that portrays schools negatively will be passed over.

Teacher Abuse

[mabelkitty]

The teachers are never fired - they are reassigned or put on leave until an "investigation" clears them. It's disgusting. And we pay these people $54,000+ per year - yes, Ohio does. Cleveland school teachers are among the best paid.

"Sexual Abuse by Educators Is Scrutinized"

They call it "quality control"......

[little jeremiah]

Homosexual Agenda Ping - possibly... Let's see what the media does with this.

Will they mention how many same sex assaults there have been, or will they use the generic words "pedophile" and "children"?

Note the words "FAR EXCEED":

"Yet despite the limitations of the existing research base, the scope of the problem appears to far exceed the priest abuse scandal in the Roman Catholic Church..."
