Oh, no, I agree the public schools are in many cases a cesspool.
Statistically, they make the whole "Catholic abuse scandal" look like a tempest in a teapot. That's all I was saying.
Christian schools, whether Catholic or Presbyterian, should certainly do their best to screen out and prosecute these monsters -- because any act of child sexual abuse is a tragedy and a scandal. But when child sexual abuse in the Publik Skools are that bad by comparison, estimates of something like 100 times the abuse rate in the allegedly "troubled" Catholic schools -- then I kinda wonder, should we really focus on bashing eachother's denominational schools? Seems to me there's a much larger elephant in the room, yknow?
It's just that Religious Schools make for more titillating headlines, whereas the Public Schools are basically given a "pass" by the Mainstream Media, and treated as if the institution of public schooling is as fundamentally and unquestionably American as baseball and apple pie.
Sorry I flew off the handle about it.
