Oddly enough you see more true pedophiles and porn addicted females in the public schools. I know the article is about schools but we eat so much crap about “pedophile priests” on this site that I had to make the comment.

“Oddly enough you see more true pedophiles and porn addicted females in the public schools. I know the article is about schools but we eat so much crap about “pedophile priests” on this site that I had to make the comment.”

You are right about more pedophiles in public schools and the fact that many believe the liberal lie that there is more abuse of children in Catholic churches than anyplace. I have included a piece I grabbed from an article posted on FR a few months ago that describes how such a myth is kept alive.

From the article: Pedophilia is an unusually big problem in the Catholic Church
Not according to an official U.S. government-sponsored study. Reported LifeSiteNews.com last year:
According to Charol Shakeshaft, the researcher of a little-remembered 2004 study prepared for the U.S. Department of Education, “the physical sexual abuse of students in schools is likely more than 100 times the abuse by priests.”
[In fact] … “nearly 9.6 percent of students are targets of educator sexual misconduct sometime during their school career.”
So why does everyone focus on the church? Hillary Profita of CBS News provides some insight:
During the first half of 2002, the 61 largest newspapers in California ran nearly 2,000 stories about sexual abuse in Catholic institutions, mostly concerning past allegations. During the same period, those newspapers ran four stories about the federal government’s discovery of the much larger — and ongoing — abuse scandal in public schools.
People focus on where media place the spotlight — whether it belongs there or not.
