[a fool in paradise]

There WERE witches in The Crucible and there WERE Communists in the United States (which is what Mr. Miller’s novel was about).

Witchhunts don’t mean that there are no witches. It has to do with unfounded hysteria making something a big concern.

How many teachers have molested children in Texas just since this case broke? How many schools were raided?

Just saying. Prosecute the guilty. Don’t showboat for cameras as you raid the “compound” and tell the public how important this makes you.

Teachers possibly molesting children has nothing to do with the issue at hand.
I only used the term witch hunt because that was / is the term used by the defenders of the fldsers.
So unknott your britches, and stick to the point.
