Our daughter’s (very liberal and secular) school recently launched an investigation into sexual abuse of students by teachers over a period of many years back in the 1970s. It was well known at the time, of course, people just were discouraged from making waves or doing anything about it. Sexual abuse was widespread back then, and it was uniformly suppressed, regardless of the sort of community. (Frankly, it still is.)
