To a point, you are right.

If you look at the articles posted about teachers abusing students, many of the comments are positive (the various “guilty/not guilty tags”).

Yep. As a case-in-point, I posted an article about sex abuse in the public schools in the News Forum this afternoon and it got about 6 responses other than mine. Compare this to any of the Catholic Church-related sex abuse stories and I think my point is made quite clearly.

I say it again--those who harp most sanctimoniously on the sex abuse scandal in the Catholic Church don't give a d@mn about sex abuse of children. They only do it because they hate Catholics.
