I'm pretty sure they've re-defined "safe" to "not dying that very moment." It doesn't matter that these kids might all grow up to kill themselves, because holy shit are they so safe from all the sentient guns that roam our schools.
By that metric I will say that even school shootings aside, the kid is probably safer in that room from sex predators than they would be at a public school. That's not saying much though, and I'm sure that's not what the idiot meant.
And how are they less safe alone in a catholic church? Is there fewer tripping hazards? They're alone. (yeah, yeah, I know what they mean, but linguistics matters!)
The only reason the kid is "safer" there is cameras are rolling. And even then, that's only with your definition of immediate risk. Take away the camera element, and I'd much prefer my kid be... pretty much anywhere else that is "approved" by society to exist.

I mean ... 0.00000001% safer ... is safer.
When it's your kids, safe means not in mortal peril.
When it's them, safe means completely immune to all criticism or difficulty.
