You might be right about secular schools but 5X more begs a reference to back the assertion. I am sure you have one. We will wait. Thanks.

The irony here on the RF is however evident. We are told almost daily by your caucus that mother church is “it.” What she says will be obeyed or else. You would expect such an organization with so much history to do the right thing. Not shuffle the deck when confronted with pedophiles and pederasts. In America, the decks were shuffled just to have the offenders find new prey. Why defend the offenders? Defend the victims should be the focus of the church.

‘Passing the trash’

Too often, problem teachers are allowed to leave quietly. That can mean future abuse for another student and another school district.

“They might deal with it internally, suspending the person or having the person move on. So their license is never investigated,” says Charol Shakeshaft, a leading expert in teacher sex abuse who heads the educational leadership department at Virginia Commonwealth University.

It’s a dynamic so common it has its own nicknames—“passing the trash” or the “mobile molester.”

Laws in several states require that even an allegation of sexual misconduct be reported to the state departments that oversee teacher licenses. But there’s no consistent enforcement, so such laws are easy to ignore.

School officials fear public embarrassment as much as the perpetrators do, Shakeshaft says. They want to avoid the fallout from going up against a popular teacher. They also don’t want to get sued by teachers or victims, and they don’t want to face a challenge from a strong union.

According to the above report prepared for the US Department of Education entitled Educator Sexual Misconduct: A Synthesis of Existing Literature, “9.6 per cent of all students in grades 8 to 11 report… educator sexual misconduct that was unwanted.”

John Jay report. Look it up. I think I lowballed the disparity.

Also, the same report shows ministers to abuse at a higher rate than priests.

But both are well below teachers.

Well, here’s a suggestion: don’t click on those links.

Nobody is forcing you to do so, you’re CHOOSING to open that thread. It’s called trolling, and it’s very un-Christian behavior.
