Something a bit hypocritical when the Chief Newspaper of Record for Pedophiles and Transvestites attacks the Church for harboring pedophiles.
The big difference is that in the Church, they wormed their way in, and responsible leaders are trying to clean things up, whereas at the New York Times they run the whole show, under the Aegis of Pinch Sulzberger.
Hypocrisy, anyone?
The NYTimes doesn’t hate pedophiles. It hates Catholics who are trying to do something about it.
Talk about Orwellian Duckspeak.
The incidence of sexual abuse by teachers in public schools today has been estimated to be “more than 100 times” that by Catholic priests, and there is alarming evidence of school officials covering up abuse and failing to report suspected cases to authorities.
Yet the mainstream media has largely ignored this shocking story while still rehashing decades-old allegations of abuse by Catholic priests.
A 2004 U.S. Department of Education report reported that “the most accurate data available” reveals that “nearly 9.6 percent of [public school] students are targets of educator sexual misconduct sometime during their school career.”
See here for the official report:

This result prompted Hofstra University’s Dr. Charol Shakeshaft, the author of the study, to opine in 2006, “[T]hink the Catholic Church has a problem? The physical sexual abuse of students in schools is likely more than 100 times the abuse by priests.”

A Meanwhile, that same 2004 report cited an important study from the mid-1990s:
“In an early [1994] study of 225 cases of educator sexual abuse in New York, all of the accused had admitted to sexual abuse of a student but none of the abusers was reported to authorities.”
That is an important and alarming fact:
Number of abusive educators: 225
Number reported to police: 0
So, in other words, as recently as 1994, it was the universal practice in New York among school administrators not to call police to report abusers.
The 1994 study also reported that only 1 percent of those abusive educators lost their license. In addition, most alarmingly, “25 percent received no consequence or were reprimanded informally and off-the-record. Nearly 39 percent chose to leave the district, most with positive recommendations or even retirement packages intact.”
Yet, which entity is demanding EVER MORE MONEY to failing public schools?
Answer: The lamestream media ( like the New York Times ).
