The reason why so many “teacher of the year” award winners end-up going to prison for child sexual abuse is because they have a high degree of emotional congruence with minors. They are predators whose skill set is easily masked as one who understands the thoughts, emotions, and motivations of minors, giving them even greater access.
Thank you. That was some “wow” reading.
I was intrigued and read some. I think I irrevocably damaged my psyche.
Can you summer it for us so your sacrifice isn’t for nothing
It’s the democrats fault for not going after child molesters, and for BEING child molesters. Also of course it happened in California because no one there knows how the real world works. And then additional orders of magnitude of cognitive dissonance along those lines.
Just looked. Good gravy these people are brainwashed. They would totally ignore that there are far more religious child molesters than there are teachers who molest.
Ok, I was playing a game where I tried to guess to the comments’ contents without reading them. Initial guess was the Manosphere Special: “Wish that were me lol”
But with your comment, I think they were saying something stupid like “Cali/liberals are all pedos”?
Its mostly “I’d kill them myself if that were my kid” and “Dems hate the Catholic church and love teachers. This article proves teachers are the real pedo’s. Gotcha Dems!” with some “States alone should handle education”. Sprinkle in some stories of other kids abused by teachers and that’s most of it.
About as stupid as could be expected. My thanks and condolences for wading into the sewage.
Yes. And how this is all the fault of people straying from the Bible, and god. I nearly lost my lunch laughing
Teachers abuse students at a rate of 20-50% higher than Catholic priests. Not defending the priests or anything, but I think we forget how horrificly high the abuse rate of teachers is.
Bruh. Catholic. You have to add the other religions. They all do it.
You clearly didn’t read it. The rate not the raw number. Per the Dept. of Education, 5-7% of teachers are abusers. That is 20-50+% higher than the rate (i.e percent) priests abuse. The average school in America has several abusers in it.
Lemmy talks a big game about the Catholics, and damn does that church know how to run a cover up, but schools are frankly ripe for reforms and accountability.
You might say there is a discrepancy between actual rate and reported rate.
Is it more underreported than the notoriously underreported abuse in schools?
For real, we are on a post where an abusive career teacher got a ‘teacher of the year award’ no doubt in part for her behavior around students.
I am not doing this to whatabout abuse in the Catholic Church. I left it and won’t be going back. But it’s so odd to bring it up on a post about a teacher getting charged, the school clearly not identifying the problem (she had been a teacher for 11 years, it had been going on for a year, they didn’t report it and even rewarded her behavior prior to the reports).
Schools have a serious systemic problem here too, and I don’t believe we should deflect every time it makes the news. That’s all.
Aren’t Catholic priests notoriously underreported though because of how defended by the church they are?

Not doing what aboutism, just trying to explain what their point may have been. I’m a different person than brought it up, so just guessing. Yes, schools have real problems too.
More religious people rape kids than teachers—by far. Stop defending people who excuse their shit behavior with god.
The real issue is, the catholic priests more often get away with it than the teachers.
