I wasn't comparing the acts, I was noting the willingness of some people to broadbrush the entire Catholic priesthood as a bunch of perverts in spite of the fact that we did not have all that many instances of"perverted acts" compared to the number of catholic priests. And yet, when we've had a good number of teachers bed down with students, no one is suggesting there's something amiss in the public school system. That would be....sacreligous.
Is there something amiss in the public school system that's causing this sudden outbreak? Or is the media simply getting into reporting these scandals? Regardless, the media have enough instances of sexual abuse that, given the standards demonstrated during the catholic priest sex abuse scandals, is enough to at least suggest that the entire public school system is tainted and in need of an investigation.

I'm pointing out a basic case of "selective outrage." Or don't you get that?

It might be wise for you not to personally attack people on the forum for statements you don't understand or appreciate. especially when you're only 6 months into your FR career.
