Here, I did the work for you as you told OC to do (not even OC) and it still proves you wrong:

https://www.innocentlivesfoundation.org/sexual-misconduct-in-the-classroom-everything-you-need-to-know/#:~:text=The%20report%20concluded%20that%20roughly,their%20K%2D12%20school%20experience.

"The report concluded that roughly 10 percent of students experience sexual misconduct by a teacher at some time during their K-12 school experience."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church_sex_abuse_cases_in_the_United_States

"The majority of accused priests in the United States (55.7%) had one formal allegation of abuse made against them, 26.4% had two or three allegations, 17.8% had four to nine allegations, and 3.5% had ten or more allegations."[

Let's not forget - the Catholic Church sex scandal has gone on for decades and this is only taking into account the people who have come forward. I am 100% certain both stats are undercounted.

You are misreading. It is not saying 55.7% of priests are accused. It is saying out of the accused priests, 55.7% have had one formal allegation.

If you read further down in the article:

"The product of the study, titled the John Jay Report indicated that some 11,000 allegations had been made against 4,392 priests in the USA. This number constituted approximately 4% of the priests who had served during the period covered by the survey (1950–2002)."

So, yes, not denying it's a problem, but it's incorrect to say 55.7% of priests are accused child molesters.

One problem with these numbers is that many of the instances in the Church have been covered up. In public schools this is not usually the case with the exception of a winning sports coach who they don’t want to fire. The numbers in the Church are likely higher than the reports

How many public school employees are there in the US compared to priests? The number of public school employees is still higher. And the Catholic Church isn’t going to invite drag queens into my kids school

Dud, it's not that hard - you're way more likely to get touched by a priest, family member, or clergy person than you are an outside LGBTQ+ person - The statistics are not on your side, yet your still here peddling BS.

Facts not feelings bro. I know you FEEL like the Catholic Church isn't the problem and I know you have your Catholic church bubble and love to protect child diddlers - but you should really come on over to reality. You sound like a groomer to me tbh.

The mental gymnastics that you Catholics use to try and come to terms with the fact that the church is full of, and run by child rapists is disgusting and abhorrent. I understand if you still want to worship God, but there are many other religions out there that worship the same God, go find one of those.

Drag Queens aren’t pedophiles you depraved fuck

Stop being misled by billionaires who want you to vote their taxes down by letting the fascists take control

You and your shit-tier intellect are more of a danger to my kids than a fucking drag queen will ever be

If you’re more terrified by drag queens then you are about an organization that repeatedly enabled child molestation then you have some serious soul searching to do. Your words are that of a hateful lil bigot and I pity you. Stop trying to demonize a harmless activity (reading to kids) and equate it with pedophilia. It’s a nonsense argument and the fact that you can’t see that just proves your ignorance. It’s perverse rhetoric like yours that fuels hate against the LGBTQ community. And we see where that can lead. Please go back to the cesspool from whence you came!

Nope, no drag queens at the church, just "leaders" who will sexually abuse your children

What do drag queens even have to do with this argument?

Do you have a fetish for being wrong all the time or is it just a unique disability you have ?
