NY State Abuse Bill Proposal
 
NEW YORK, April 1, 2016 /Standard Newswire/ -- Bill Donohue (photo) comments on New York State Senator Brad Hoylman's response to my suggestion that his bill, which would eliminate the statute of limitations for the sexual abuse of minors, cover the public schools as well as private schools:
 
Ken Lovett of the New York Daily News asked Sen. Hoylman yesterday about my request to amend his bill, and he said that while he supports treating private and public schools alike, "it would be wrong to hide behind the issue to block legislation from being passed."
 
Accordingly, the Catholic League will contact every member of the New York legislature today asking them to submit a bill that would suspend the statute of limitations for the sexual abuse of minors, with one caveat: that it cover only the public schools. If anyone objects, all they need do is take a page from Sen. Hoylman and say that private and public schools should be treated the same, "but it would be wrong to hide behind the issue to block legislation from being passed."
