...according to a 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.”

Which is not the same as saying that 9.6 % of all teachers engage in sexual misconduct.

A muddying of the waters with that stat. it is irrelevant to the issue at hand, which is the fact that when allegations of abuse came up, the Church handled it wrong until forced to by the victims going public with it and the church having its hand forced by the bad publicity.

All that tells anyone is that if the secular world did not put pressure on the church to do the right thing, it would still be going on.

What is unbelievable is that many of these teachers are moved around and are still teaching your children and grandchildren.
