It could take decades longer than even that. America has experienced mind-boggling collapse in just 4 months. The damage to its reputation will take an entire restructuring of the powers of the executive branch to overcome. I mean, who wants to make a deal with an admin, when every 4 years it can go back on its word?
We still have at least 43 more months to look forward to. The bottom hasn’t even begun to drop.
Is it more underreported than the notoriously underreported abuse in schools?
For real, we are on a post where an abusive career teacher got a ‘teacher of the year award’ no doubt in part for her behavior around students.
I am not doing this to whatabout abuse in the Catholic Church. I left it and won’t be going back. But it’s so odd to bring it up on a post about a teacher getting charged, the school clearly not identifying the problem (she had been a teacher for 11 years, it had been going on for a year, they didn’t report it and even rewarded her behavior prior to the reports).
Schools have a serious systemic problem here too, and I don’t believe we should deflect every time it makes the news. That’s all.
Yeah, I’m sorry about that. Got hit with three notifications at the same time and replied to the wrong one.

You clearly didn’t read it. The rate not the raw number. Per the Dept. of Education, 5-7% of teachers are abusers. That is 20-50+% higher than the rate (i.e percent) priests abuse. The average school in America has several abusers in it.
Lemmy talks a big game about the Catholics, and damn does that church know how to run a cover up, but schools are frankly ripe for reforms and accountability.
Teachers abuse students at a rate of 20-50% higher than Catholic priests. Not defending the priests or anything, but I think we forget how horrificly high the abuse rate of teachers is.
You know he actually did a Nazi salute right?

That’s very true. It’s less that it can happen, and more that it’s happening with virtually every trade agreement at once, along with dozens of diplomatic norms.
That said, the authority of the executive is undeniably stronger today than back then. Congress has acquiesed its authority and powers on virtually every issue imaginable and it alternates between being too complicit and too incompetent to change that (and too gridlocked to achieve meaningful policy anyway).
There are too many metastisizing issues to count at this point.
