“I’ll take the blame” like he’s doing something noble.

As though otherwise the blame would’ve gone to some other, imaginary, guy.

He's saying that for the others who aided him or kept it hushed I bet

And this is why religion needs to stay out of schools

I'd say, it should stay out of society and remain centered on the individual, focus on spirituality, etc.

Keep children away from churches. They aren’t safe there.

This is absolutely horrific. A church leader abusing their position of trust to sexually exploit young people is beyond reprehensible. It's a devastating betrayal. 

If you or someone you know has been a victim of sexual abuse, please reach out to a helpline or a trusted adult.
