Yes, government schools have a huge pedophile problem: No, it's not Q-anon conspiracy theory, follow the data.

National awareness of the grooming problem in public school classrooms is rising, thanks to the campaign opposing Florida's law prohibiting sexualizing the youngest students in grades K–3. The hysteria of the law's opponents has served notice on the public that an active movement exists in schools and the media to indoctrinate the young in the notion that one's sex is a matter of preference, not biology, and even to facilitate homosexuality and transgenderism in pre-pubescent children. Helping public awareness rise is the number of online videos, especially on Tik Tok, where public school teachers proclaim their goals. Two examples collected today by Libs of Tik Tok:

"Diversity is my favorite thing to teach” says non-binary preschool teacher who also makes 4 year olds pick a pronoun pin every day to wear"

"You can make up something totally new if you want.” They are now using “gride” and “broom” for non-binary people getting married. They keep making up new words"

Until Florida raised the issue of classroom grooming, very few people were aware of the magnitude of the problem of abusive teachers sexualizing their students. In contrast to the media's treatment of problems the Catholic Church faced with sexual abuse by its clergy (mostly, but not exclusively a matter of homosexual abuse), comparatively little attention has been paid to the apparently far larger problem of schoolteacher sexual abuse.

I am indebted to Christopher Rufo, who almost singlehandedly exposed the problem of Disney foisting homosexual, transgender, and other sexual propaganda on children, for his article in the City Journal pointing out the alarming data that exist — albeit far fewer data than what we need:

Qanon forever damaged this word. When you toss a word around like party confetti it means nothing. It’s just a word ya’ll use to describe people you don’t like. Ya’ll did to the word pedophile what the left did to the word rape.

My dad used to (somewhat jokingly) say, "I don't trust anyone that purposely decides to make a career of spending 8 hours a day around children."

Of course we all know that every teacher, coach etc. isn't a pedophile, but lets just say that if you are a pedophile, that would certainly be a career choice you would gravitate toward....

The most comprehensive report about sexual abuse in public schools, published by the Department of Education in 2004, estimates — on the basis of a 2000 survey, conducted by the American Association of University Women, of 2,065 students in grades eight through 11 — that nearly 10 percent of K–12 students have been victims of sexual misconduct by a public school employee. Assuming that figure is accurate, this would translate into an approximately 4.5 million children nationwide suffering sexual misconduct by public school employees, with an estimated 3 million suffering physical sexual abuse — a number, according to the author of the study, Hofstra University professor Charol Shakeshaft, more than 100 times greater than the physical abuse committed by Catholic priests, who, at the time the report was published, were undergoing a reckoning for the crimes within their ranks.

Despite these numbers, the story vanished. A few media outlets covered the report and interviewed Professor Shakeshaft, but no national outcry followed. Two years later, CBS News published an article asking whether the media had "ignored sex abuse in schools" altogether.

With little public pressure to make changes, the public school system has continued to operate with very low standards of enforcement and accountability.

I was in Scouting for many years with my sons. As a leader, I attended workshops presented by BSA. In one of them we were told about the leadership guidelines, especially “two-deep” leadership, ie., a minimum of two qualified adults had to be present in any BSA activity.

The reason for this is to protect the Scouts. We were specifically told that pederasts and pedophiles had targeted activities and organizations that would give them trusted access to youths. These included churches, schools and youth organizations, like Scouting.

So there’s no surprise here. And the solution is to eliminate them, any way you can.

Many years ago there was a famous bank robber, Willie Sutton.

When asked why he robbed banks, he replied “Because that is where the money is.”

Why is it that so few understand that this same thought process is prevalent in pedophiles?

Why are there pedophiles in schools?

Because that is where the children are....

School employees should be under a microscope with extreme examination of their character and morality and constant attention for the entire time they remain employed in education.

Because that is where the children are.

What a ridiculous statement. Tell you what, go go put on your jammies and sit in your rocking chair and believe nothing is true. It's all just a bunch of CONSPIRACY THEORIES. Helpful hint: It's all true. Sssshhhh.

Predators come in all guises. I met some female predators as a very young man, as well as some male ones. When you are young and sexually innocent you don’t “get it”, but looking back you think “Whoa, they were saying stuff to me they shouldn’t have”.

I was born in the early 60’s, and Helicoptor DROP Parenting was in operation, we were pretty much free roamers. But they did teach us to be careful re: strangers or weird stuff.

Heterosexual male coaches and teachers were probably more of an issue then than closeted homosexuals. I remember some junior high/highschool coaches were rumored to be bedding cheerleaders. We were all sexually awakening then and the 70’s were very raunchy times all around. Lots of inappropriate stuff going on re: children and protecting them from corrupting materials.

Now they want to institutionalize it, without shame.

RE: The reason for this is to protect the Scouts

So, when did the Scouts decide they didn’t need any protection any longer by allowing OPEN HOMOSEXUALS to be scout leaders?

“Ya’ll did to the word pedophile what the left did to the word rape.”

Yes, or “racist”. Some people just never learned the lesson of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”.

Exactly. Racist is an excellent example!

Your Dad has a point, but it is also true that there are great teachers who enter the profession because they want to make a difference in the life of children.

The main trouble with the profession currently is their extreme leftwing politics that far put more emphasis on advance their political agenda than in serving their constituents.

If those priorities were to be reversed, then the pedos would not be attracted to the profession in such large numbers or would, at least, crawl back into the closet where they belong.

RE: Why are there pedophiles in schools? Because that is where the children are....

Here’s a question... is pedophilia a huge phenomenon only in America’s public schools, or is it the same huge problem in the public schools of other countries?

If only in America ( I don’t know that for a fact ), why is this so?

RE: my dad used to (somewhat jokingly) say, “I don’t trust anyone that purposely decides to make a career of spending 8 hours a day around children.”

It’s not as if teachers don’t spend 8 hours a day around children in other countries. So, why is this only a problem in America?

Sad to say but there are some teachers in every school with an unhealthy attitude towards a few kids who are attracted to these teachers. Sad to say but some students initiate this kind of activity. Most schools have administrations who would come down hard on this activity if they knew about it, but it can go on underground easily.

In my day (class of 63) we had a librarian who met frequently with a group of students who enjoyed tales of this teacher’s counter culture ideas. (The folk scene developed from this group, but what else went on?) BTW, maybe this was just an innocent group who enjoyed access to coffee and maybe a room where smoking was allowed, maybe nothing more than that.

When I taught, the drama teacher (who ran a fabulous theater production each year) eventually was exposed for sex with students years later.

In the same school a student teacher had a party at her apartment where she served wine to students. How dumb can you get? She was caught when a student came home and her alert parents noticed that she was intoxicated.

A psychiatrist in town was exposed for the same activity with his young patients. They came back after years of adulthood and accused him. (Not just teachers)

At another school a math tutor who worked with underacheiving students ended up being involved with a student over the summer with over 6000 text messages between them. The principal and teacher lost their jobs in a purge over the issue but how did it happen?

I agree that teachers are pushing their politics and woe to those teachers who don’t fall in line. But the rules about being alone with students need to be improved and followed.

BTW, I was also a scout master at summer camp, fortunately, the Scouts had already learned from their history and made corrections. The problem with scouting is that they attempted to stand against the wave of new attitudes regarding how diverse we should be as a society. Yes, there were always homosesual scouters but we never had them clamoring to be open. Now they are.

[Vigilanteman]

Don't doubt any of your stories. Pedos are drawn to these professions (and comparable volunteer opportunities such as scouting) like a moth to a flame.

It has only gotten worse as leftist society has mainstreamed deviancy and made normalcy deviant.

I get so sick of watching news these days, that I tune into the NHK (Japan Public Broadcasting) for my main source of news now. While the left is going ape$#*+ crazy over Florida's anti-grooming laws aimed to protect little children not yet in 3rd grade, the Japanese were matter-of-factly discussing the need for adding such laws there to protect children under (I kid you not) 18 years old.

It was clear from their program that pedos in Japan are at least waiting until puberty to target children.
