Has anyone else noticed something here...

People scream bloody murder over the religious leader sexual abuse of young boys (i.e. homosexual, though that word is NEVER used in the media), primarily in the Catholic Church (though it’s happened in other religions as well). Now don’t get me wrong. This sort of thing is evil, and the harm it causes the child is devastating.

However...

Does anyone else notice that for the most part, the media is silent on the sexual abuse of children by public school teachers?

It seems to me that this sort of thing is far more prevalent than what we hear about with the Church.

Could it simply be that the media is more protective towards public school teachers, who tend to be union members, and be liberal, usually with the same political agenda as the media?

Teachers, and by inference, Teacher’s Unions, are a “protected” class of individual. The MSM considers these stories “local” and unworthy of national exposure, unless there are circumstances that they cannot quash themselves, like the teacher got pregnant or something like fleeing to Mexico.........

The public schools are their churches, and the teachers are, for the most part, infallible.

Probably because most of these cases don't involve "children" at all. In our media-saturated culture, boys are more sexually knowledgeable at 14 than their grandfathers were at 21, and they are willing participants in nearly every one of these stories.
