If the 4.5 million figure is true theres a lot of educators out their molesting kids that are going un-punished. Do you think some of those crimes are covered up?
Maybe. I don't believe there is an attempt to shield abusers by, say, the Department of Education, who oversees the schools, nor are teachers or other employees exempt from prosecution when they flee to an Italian enclave that gets to be run as a theocratic state with an absolute monarch.
The attempt to draw some sort of equivalency in this thread is fairly shameless. There are probably abusers and otherwise sinister individuals within any large organization, and any time you have a large organization dealing with children, you're bound to find a few pedophiles and pederasts. But I do not see most organizations going to the same lengths as the Catholic Church, which claims to be a guardian and beacon of morality, to protect abusers, shield them from prosecution, pay victims hush money, or otherwise cover up the fact that there is a problem within the organization at all.
