No, I am saying I am skeptical of that claim.
And even if I was, you have just as much a burden to demonstrate that they are, since you have made that assertion.
What assertion? That those male teachers were men? I have supported the prevalence of pedophiles among men. If you think the prevalence of pedophilia among teachers who are men is dramatically different than that of men as a group, this is your claim to support.
In the absence of any evidence indicating otherwise, no good reason exists to think that prevalence is at all significantly different.
