[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would deeply investigate what they do to protect kids against sexual assault.[/quote]

You mean as compared to the sovereign immunity-protected public schools where the abuse problem (1) remains current, unlike Catholic schools with extremely effective protective programs; and (2) the (ongoing) abuse is estimated to be 100x the alleged problems of the past in Catholic institutions?[/quote]

Look it up yourself.

Catholic entities have state of the art child protection programs, including training in spotting grooming and indicia of abuse. Teachers, staff, religious workers, parents, anyone with child contact has to go through training with refreshers. The standard of proof for a “credible” accusation is more or less whether it was impossible for the alleged conduct to occur, for example if the accused was on a different continent at all relevant times and can document that. Short of that level of defense, even the least plausible accusation imaginable is career ending.

So I’m answer to your request for comparison, Catholic schools are not merely degrees better, they are operating in an entirely different universe where child protection is at the forefront.

And you may not be interested in liability, but plenty of people who see an easy mark with a history of paying huge sums instead of defending even obviously specious claims are interested in that.

I’m relatively disinterested in whether we can sue and highly interested in what is being done to prevent. You haven’t actually answered the question about what they do and how it compares to public school.

Whose estimate is this “100X”? Citation please.[/quote][/quote]

PS:  forgot to mention the fingerprinting and background checks. To be a room mom. To watch over kids on the playground at recess. [/quote]
