Sorry, folks, but I am not condoning such actions by teachers and administrators but looking at the statistics in the article it says that over 2500 cases over 5 years were reported (not all were) and there are over 3 million school teachers. If you average that out it would be 500 cases per year. So doing the math 500 in a year divided by 3000000 would not be a plague. It would be sad, disgusting, and sickening but not a plague. Again, I don't condone these things. They are abhorrent, disgusting, and criminal.

its american policy. Spend the most money and put the most attention on threats that pose the least damage to people as a whole.

eg. terrorism vs car accidents and murders, which the latter yearly kill more people then the former have in the whole history of the country

And your comment has WHAT to do with a press investigation on sexual misconduct in schools? Thanks ever so much for turning this political. /facetious

I have to wonder if it's the number of cases that is going up, or the number of reported cases that is going up.
