This one stings, Rene, but like most of your other blogs it is spot-on correct. We must look at ourselves in the mirror with complete sobriety. Some 50 years ago, my high school choir teacher taught us a valuable technique in the world of choral singing, yet I have since found that it is an approach that applies to everything:

Put the right em-PHA-sis on the right syl-LAB-le.

Indeed. The clear emphasis here is that we protect the institutions, not the kids therein. Totally bass-akwards.
