This weird whataboutism that religious apologists engage in speaks really bad about you, but I'll bite.

Any institution that gives adults authority over children and creates room for abuse should be scrutinized and have tight checks and controls. Fortunately, many educators across the West are taking action by teaching children about consent so that they're capable of protecting their rights and calling out abuse against themselves as early as possible. Unfortunately, I've seen plenty of Conservatives lashing out against this and religious schools have a worrying tendency to resist incorporating comprehensive education about consent into their curriculum.

Well, yeah, then they wouldn't be able to abuse children with impunity. Haven't you been paying attention?

Most of the people I'm around believe that priests and drag queens abuse children so that specific argument isn't helpful. The issue is their news sources confirm and compound their general fear of the unknown.
