Media that gleefully pilloried the Catholic Church over pedophilia charges averts their eyes over much larger schoolteacher pedophilia problem

 Thomas Lifson

Imagine if 7 separate charges of pedophilia against Catholic priests had surfaced in one day.  The progressive media would have blared the total on front pages and in newscasts all day long

. . ."I am not complaining that the Catholic Church’s problems should have been ignored by the media.  The institutional failure of the Church to confront its pedophile priests caused great suffering among innocent children.

But that suffering and institutional failure apparently is dwarfed by the magnitude of the pedophilia and grooming problem (they are closely related) in government schools. In both institutions, people entrusted with leadership responsibilities failed their young charges, and used them for their own perverse sexual gratification.  The media highlighted pedophilia cases in the Church to the point that pedophile priests became a cliché because of its hostility to  the Catholic Church for its unwavering commitment to unchanging moral standards given by God (including the sanctity of human life). But now that government schools have become indoctrination camps, dominated by left wing teachers’ unions and boards of education that do their bidding, the media usually limit coverage of teachers’ pedophilia to local media, if that. (The sole exception seems to be hot, young female teachers who have posed for pictures in provocative outfits.)

"OF COURSE, not all teachers are pedophiles. Just as was true for priests, many people selflessly devote themselves to the cause of helping others. But there needs to be strict scrutiny of those who seek to be put into the classroom, and awareness, as David Mamet recently pointed out, that pedophiles gravitate towards occupations that put them in contact with vulnerable children."

Don Surber: 7 pedo teachers in 1 day  . . ."The people who oppose the new law aid and abet these crimes. They don't want to be called groomers. That's an easy title to lose. Stop grooming and stop enabling groomers."
