Unhealthy sexual relationships will only continue unless Knox broadens its sexual education to include and normalise gay relationships.
Young boys and men who hide their sexualities due to school culture and can participate in no discussion about it are more susceptible to the disgusting abuses of power that we saw here.

There is a lot more to come.
Camp Knox has to be looked at.

Paterson's claim that "For the other thousands of Knox students, I believe I had in place an outstanding system of pastoral care which catered directly to their satisfactory welfare," is plain delusional bullshit. Sorry sir, did I swear? Get stuffed! Chronic bullying from students (including psychotic sadistic cadet leaders and prefects, sports scholars (deluded in their belief they had a future Wallabies jersey) and sadistic teachers who harshly punished trivial breaches of the school's rules at Patterson's orders, is yet another unspoken chapter of this inquiry. Many of its not so smart sporting stars who believed Patterson's gospel and bent take on the school motto 'virile agitur' thought they were better than the rest of us - the best of the best, because they went to Knox, and have gone on to prosper as narcissistic dickheads. And to you Dr. Patterson, you hypocritical dickhead, its liberating to walk down the street these days with socks down and no choking tie or silly itchy boater without getting a detention (picking up rubbish dropped by others) - while you protected sex offenders and psychos for the sake of protecting your all important image as ‘the best’. My sympathies to students who were victims of the school, and to their hard working parents who forked out tens of thousands to pay the school’s exorbitantly high fees during a time that mortgage interest rates were crippling, topping out to 17% and an all time high.

Well John Paul, you are entitled to your say. I really don't know why I am replying to such a paragraph. But being a past student and still having contact with many from my time there and more recent leavers, I can only assume your are referring to a miniscule sampling of those who have come through the school. BTW, pick you nickname of here from some well know Catholic wanker?

John Paul (which I am assuming is a pseudonym). It appears that you have a large chip on your shoulder regarding private schools or maybe just Knox. This is not the forum to air that chip.

Like I said it's hard not to be arrogant when dealing with someone who's life is so piss poor they have nothing better to do than vent their envious spleens on a forum that has nothing to do with them.
