Statistics, Who Needs ’em

This statistic alone should make you wonder. If it were up to the media, you’d never hear about this stuff. Most people think that the Catholic Priests are the real problem. Think again.

Why are women teachers so hot for students? ‘This kid is the most honest person I’ve met in my life’

Compare the numbers with the much-publicized Catholic Church scandal.

A study by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops concluded 10,667 young people were sexually mistreated by priests between 1950 and 2002.

Shakeshaft’s study, however, estimates that roughly 290,000 students experienced some sort of physical sexual abuse by a public school employee between 1991 and 2000 alone.

If female employees are responsible for 40 percent of those crimes, that means America could be facing an average of more than 11,000 instances of women abusing students in school each year – in other words, more cases in one year than were reported in 50 years of Catholic priest abuse.

Rush Limbaugh is often fond of saying, “Liberals are liberals first.” What this means to me is that liberal Democrats crave power, money and control over “We the People” more than anything else in the world. Using the ubiquitous power of the State over the people is what animates them. Raising taxes for a liberal is like a “street tax” the Mafia imposes on legitimate businesses for “protection.”
