[quote=Anonymous]Interestingly to me is that this idea has been a touchstone of the right wing for a while.

In 2004 a study (sort of; I don’t think that’s the most correct word) a researcher said that, due sheerly to the raw numbers of children in public school vs Catholic* private, there would be more victims in public school, but she didn’t actually prove that and when it came to looking at numbers, the public school survey asked people to self report whereas the Catholic numbers came from the Catholic schools and contained only reported cases. https://jessesingal.substack.com/p/a-lighthearted-dispute-does-more

There are certainly public school teachers who offend and occasionally administrators who try to cover it up, but in general it becomes public and the teacher/para/admin is fired (and tried as appropriate). Whereas in the Catholic Church… that’s not the case and that goes for a lot of private schools too.

*Jesse Singal also goes into more detail about why the focus was just on Catholic schools and not all privates with the gist being that at the time in 2004, it was very much a focus as the news of the Catholic Church’s decades of victimizing children had only just broken.[/quote]
