What A Sick Story

October 21, 2009

Charges are being raised against a school, where it is claimed that special needs students were abused.

Once our society has accepted that the ends justify the means (abortion, torture, euthanasia, et. al.), it is not surprising that this ideology is used by frustrated teachers and aids in our schools to create a sense of order in their classroom.

Thankfully, these victims have someone speaking out for them.

    It is indeed a terrible story, but children were being abused long before our society allegedly accepted that the end justifies the means. If you would like to give me a date that marks the beginning of our society accepting that the end justifies the means, I will produce any number of hair-raising examples from this and other countries of the abuse of children, prisoners, the elderly, and any others in situations where they were essentially helpless.

    We might start with this . . .

    The shocking scale of sexual and physical abuse in educational institutions in Ireland run by the Catholic church was revealed today in a report describing how thousands of boys and girls were raped, abused and exploited by the religious brothers and nuns who were supposed to look after them.

    The 2,600-page report by Ireland’s Commission to Inquire Into Child Abuse found that for decades rape was “endemic” in more than 250 Irish Catholic care institutions from the 1930s to the 1990s, and that the church in Ireland protected paedophiles in its ranks from arrest.

    “A climate of fear, created by pervasive, excessive and arbitrary punishment, permeated most of the institutions and all those run for boys. Children lived with the daily terror of not knowing where the next beating was coming from,” it said.

    Children in industrial schools and reformatories were treated more like convicts and slaves than people with human rights, it said. Rape was particularly common in boys homes and industrial schools run by the Christian Brothers. . . .

    It is not a matter of the end justifying the means. It is more a matter of power corrupting.

      Of course there are other forms of torture; but the connections which are being made with this story and recent US activity is interesting. It could be for sensationalism. It could, however, show that what happens on the national level does get back into the populace, as well.
