There is an extremely large, well-financed organization with unparalleled political clout which has been engaging in atrocious behavior for decades. Although many of its members are wonderful, talented people, there are others who do terrible things to children.
But despite this outrageous conduct by its members, the leaders have turned a blind eye, simply relocating the worst offenders in an effort to hide them. And when the abuses have been raised publicly, they have defended the violators, saying it would be wrong to remove them despite this meaning that children would continue to suffer. Furthermore, the organization’s leaders have adamantly maintained that they are the only true representatives of their field of expertise, officially denouncing competing institutions and movements as misguided and dangerous.
And the worst part of all is that this organization receives almost all of its funding directly from the government, meaning that the institutional negligence of the public school teachers unions is in some ways even more troubling than that of the Catholic Church.
