I think some of them around me are going to get a call from a "prospective parent" in order to find out if they are taking the proper measures.

Most private schools are on a pretty tight budget. I know of a few where the teachers used to literally race each other to the bank to cash their paychecks. Not sure how they are handling payroll with direct deposit nowadays.

Of course that Sikh temple had the wrong God entirely, but I thought the Amish one is the same one that rode dinosaurs with Jesus.

I would guess that some of the larger places now do, because some of the larger churches apparently have guards.
