      If teachers molested children at the rate that police shoot people/excessive force, if there was no professional or legal accountability for it, if we routinely saw videos of it happening, if there was a subculture of pro-pedo teachers, then sure, this analogy would work.https://twitter.com/lhfang/status/1334250796922200066 …

      Public school teachers occasionally engage in predatory behavior like molesting kids. Imagine if in reaction to these isolated scandals, the far right burned down schools, called for defunding/abolishing public education, leading GOP officials endorsed that movement.

      oh, and also: teachers who tried to stop their pedo-colleagues were ostracized or fired, teacher unions were led by the most pro-pedo members of the profession, and popular culture was saturated with depictions of heroic pedo-teachers.

          teachers with qualified immunity to molest children provided they had a reasonable belief the child was sexually interested in them, and some schools were teachers extract fines from parents by threatening to molest their children

          so you think this analogy illuminates something about the world? that it’s useful?https://twitter.com/MedlinWrites/status/1334267817361805321 …

          A more applicable (& less insane) comparison would be to teachers who are not pedos but are otherwise generally bad at teaching
