Head of D.C. Schools Said Some Laid Off Teachers Had Sex with Children

Rhee: Laid-off D.C. teachers abused kids

Okay, where's the outrage? The newspapers (as well they should) went after abusive Catholic priests and the bishops who covered up for them for months, no years! So where's the call for full disclosure of the public schools and teacher abuse of children in the nations's capitol?

Who had sex and with whom? Was it heterosexual, homosexual? What was the degree? Fondling? Rape? What were the ages of the children? Were parents told? Did those who discovered the abuse call the police?

Public school officials are MANDATORY REPORTERS. They must call the police when they are aware of sex abuse of minors. What does Michelle Rhee know and when did she know it? What about school principals. And where are the newspapers running articles every day about sex abuse in the public schools? Where's the Washington Post's front-page coverage? All I could find was a blog entry from their education reporter. Is that it?

Or is sex abuse by Catholic priests bad but sex abuse by public school teachers no big deal?
