So one person making a wild guess is your data? Nice work.

And given the difference in numbers of teachers versus numbers of Priests (or clergy since it really isn't just a Catholic Church problem) you need to use rates, not just raw numbers. The article seems to rely on raw numbers and just makes guesses at other "data". I will leave it open that the possibility exists for it to be a bigger issue in teaching, but it's going to take a lot better data than this hit piece provides.
Here ya go. Way higher than the RCC.

Interesting. While the cases of this at my school are not zero, it is no where near 12% and based on conversations with colleagues it would be the case in many other schools as well. You might get numbers that high if you included discussions of sex in health class as "abusive" and depending on how they wrote the questions that could explain what happened. The article did mention that discussion of body parts and sex qualified as "abuse". Hell, some anatomy posters could get thrown in there because they show testes and ovaries. But again, the wording of the questions matter.

Interesting. I’ve been a practicing Catholic for over 50 years. Never was abused, by a priest or anyone else. Never knew a priest who abused anyone. Never knew anyone abused by a priest. While priests abusing kids certainly is worthy of punishment, it is also trivial in relation to the size of the priesthood, and the size of the Church as a whole.
