There is no system pedophile problem in the teaching profession like there is in the RCC because there is no effort at the top to make this go away, shame the victims, protect the rapists, do everything to not pay the victims, and promote the rapists. That all happens in the RCC. For you to deflect from that with teacher's unions is despicable.
I have never claimed that priests rape at a higher level than other professions. I have never claimed that the RCC is a pedophile enabling institution because priests rape at the same level as other professions. I have claimed that the RCC is a pedophile enabling institution because THEY FUCKING ENABLE PEDOPHILES. That's just proved fact at this point. Cardinal Law sits untouchable in the lap of luxury that is the Vatican after doing unthinkable things to allow priests to continue to rape.
When you have any evidence that that happens at the top level in the teaching profession, then you can make those comparisons. Otherwise, you are coming across like some fucking union hating Republican tea bag dip shit and I don't think that's what you intend. So why not stop it.
Also, when a handful or more people take what you say a certain way, you might want to take a moment and reflect on what you said and how it might actually come across that way rather than digging in. Perhaps you were wrong. Perhaps what you said did make the point others are taking. That's what an adult would do.
