The issue of abuse by clergy is a multi-denominational and even multi-religion thing. I know of cases of rabbis and rabbinical students taking advantage of kids they are preparing for their bar mitzvah or bat mitzvah. Even more shameful, in some cases the abuse is swept under the rug to prevent harm to the perpetrator's ability to find a new position to pursue his profession.

Boston Pride is one of the oldest gay-rights organizations in the United States, with its first parade having taken place in 1971. Last year would have marked the 50th parade, but the event was cancelled due to the pandemic. This year’s events also didn’t materialize, but not entirely because of COVID-19. Rather, Boston Pride celebrated a half-century-plus of existence by collapsing into social panic and cancelling itself. I mean this literally: Boston Pride no longer exists. The organization was dissolved from within in July, when its board of directors released a statement that read, in part:

It is clear to us that our community needs and wants change without the involvement of Boston Pride. We have heard the concerns of the QTBIPOC [Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color] community and others. We care too much to stand in the way. Therefore, Boston Pride is dissolving. There will be no further events or programming planned, and the board is taking steps to close down the organization. We know many people care about Pride in Boston, and we encourage them to continue the work. By making the decision to close down, we hope new leaders will emerge from the community to lead the Pride movement in Boston.

Interesting read.

From the same article:
In other words, the memo represented a complete ideological surrender to board critics who’d sought to reimagine Pride as an explicitly anti-racist social-justice organization that prioritizes the demands of trans people—black transwomen, in particular—over other members of the LGBT community. The board members also took the extra step of humiliating themselves by noting that they were under the close oversight of minders who might slap them down if they went off-script.
...
Pride 4 The People and its allies were scathing, accusing board members of preferring to shut down the organization rather than include black and trans people. That explanation seems unlikely, given the servile posture the board had assumed toward these same groups.


Never, ever, ever apologize. It will never be enough.

The trans activists in particular are simply unappeasable
 
Were the textbooks even all written by white people? If its computer science textbooks me thinks a few asians might have written a book or two.
 
First name I look up George Polya. Born in Budapest. I guess he is a white man but he was an immigrant. Is that not enough victim street cred to write a text book?


Second attempt was Yeluda Harris who to my surprise was a white guy..but that's okay because my third try was Dr. Harris Kwong who is half Asian half lizard. Dont believe me look up his picture.

The facts aren't of importance, only the narrative.
