Lay Teachers.

Is there any person my age or older ( 60)who wasn't flogged to within an inch of his life by a lay teacher during his school years.In a school not run by the religious.These sadists were usually married ,had families and  many of their descendants are teachers.Thankfully the descendants of the flailed are also now teachers and will stop a repeat.
Can all of us now sue the State for damages and why oh why has only the religious muinteoiri been singled out.
Will this secular Government pursue the estates of those responsible?
