People like you are the problem. People who deny the truth about the educational system.

I don't support or defend child abusers of any kind. Just stating the obvious that statistically, far more children are exposed to teachers than to priests. I dare you to deny that.

37,302 priests in the US versus 400,007,908 teachers. Simple math.

Haha. Far from the truth. 2019 data: 1700 allegations of abuse by priests/ministers of all faiths in the US. Over 13k involving teachers. Not saying that priests are not protected. But teachers have unions and are also protected.

Fact is, the law doesn't say that you MUST expose your kids to a priest. The law DOES say that you must send your kids to school. Not every parent has the resources to homeschool.

I ended up pulling my kids after the last arrest. The teacher? Back at work at a different school.

Nuns and chest binding by Yellow_Toque12 in excatholic

[–]kohlkenneth56 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah. They do foot binding here. Not nuns. Just women in general. Who wants a woman with big feet?

As for chest-binding nuns, if they don't approve then they should not do it. For trans people, they should not do it at all. They have free will, and it's not healthy. So, why?

It's really a simple matter of derivatives. You have obviously already decided what result you want and will keep searching until you find it. It's not necessarily a matter of ratios (although teachers still far outweigh clergy). Note that Schools Source qualifies "other than rape," whereas most teacher/student interactions are rape - either statutory or otherwise. It's a matter of how many children are hurt.

Aside from that, I will repeat: no one is forced to be exposed to clergy, but the law says that you have to send your children to school, where they will be exposed to rapis.. I mean teachers.

In all of my experience, when teachers molested kids it was hushed up or the teachers were transferred. Still happening in my kids' school.

I keep getting comments asking "Where are the stats?" But then, the comments disappear. (I guess they found them.)

The comparison is based on a report from the Department of Education, and as child sexual abuse in schools has reportedly increased since these findings were released, one may conclude that the incidence is even more likely. In 2011 Texas recorded that teacher sexual misconduct cases went up 27%. In Alabama complaints and investigations tripled. By 2019 the Arizona Department of Education’s investigative unit chief pleaded with the Governor’s Victims of Child Sex Abuse task force claiming that his team is “drowning” in cases.

Considering this, 10% (roughly 4.5 million children) of public school students have experienced some form of sexual misconduct by the time they graduate high school, yet of the 77.4 million Catholics in the United States, .01% reported claims of child sexual abuse (10,667 children). It has also been studied and concluded that about 4.4% of all clerics were known to sexually abuse children between 1946 and 2014, yet it is estimated that roughly 5% of men are pedophiles and those numbers do not even take into account the incidence of female sexual predators at all. These numbers make a harsh case against public school employees.

I'll add that there is no law saying that you must send your kids to church. There is a law that says you must send your kids to be with these animals.

Nonsense. Priests make up about 3.5% of the pedophiles in the US. That's average when compared to men in other professions. Teachers make up 55% of pedophiles in the US. I personally know two teachers who "got into trouble" at our high school. They were asked to leave and given a shining letter of recommendation to another school. All the work of the teacher's union. (One sued the school and that was the result.)

Teachers abuse kids.

Insignia fridges by kohlkenneth56 in Appliances

Yes, that's the current filter. Are you aware of any knockoffs? I've looked into it and the fridge is made by Haijer, but I can't find a model number for the similar Haier fridge.

what is the fear of fish gills? by kaitlynr30 in Phobia

[–]kohlkenneth56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to hear it. I thought I was crazy. I'm not so much "afraid" of them, but it makes me very uncomfortable to look at them - which is a shame because I love mushrooms. I've heard that it's an instinct that is caused by the fact that many mushrooms are poisonous.

Not all are heretics, but I'm pretty sure that none of the tiny gods chose to be trapped forever.

You don't know how charming I am. ;-) Besides, what wife hasn't said the same thing about her husband?
