I have had NO personal experience with Catholic education. All I have, as I said, is many statements from people who were raised in Catholic schools. To suggest that I am "speaking from my lower orifice" is an insult. I went to regular schools, and, I had at least two frustrated old maids who hated boys. They made our lives miserable. So, I would not suggest that ONLY Catholic schools mis treat students, but, so far, the abuse that I am aware of took place MOSTLY in Catholic schools. Wanna take a poll?
