Real men don't teach little children unless they're after something or gay. /s Not very macho you know - or rather what our distorted culture thinks is macho. Way back into witch-hunts against child care workers (the McMartin case), the hatred and attacks were most vehement against the male caregivers.

I have a relative-in-law who's gay and teaches early grades. He strikes me as someone who would be a great teacher, and I wouldn't suspect his motives any more than those of the male teachers I had.
So sad :( I can't but help feel that these types of hysterias proliferate because the reality is so much less comforting. Most sexual abuse takes place in kid's own homes. It's dads, stepdads, uncles, grandpas, older cousins, mom's new boyfriends. Isn't it more comforting to blame it on a Satanic cult?
