Celebacy is a doctrine of demons.
1 Timothy 4:1-4

No.
First of all, it's not forced celibacy. It's voluntary celibacy. Nobody is holding a gun to anybody's head and making them give up marriage and sexual activity and parenting if that's what they really want.
Second of all, marriage doesn't prevent people from being homosexual or molesting children. In fact, the number one group of child molesters is dads/stepdads -- you know, the guys who are married to the victims' mothers.

Both jesus and Paul were celibate. I do not think either of them were homosexual child molesters.
A child is 100 times more likely to be sexually abused in a public school. I do not think teachers are required to be celibate.

Yes--A driving factor, but one can not blame an organization for what one does. Blame must be upon those for their own sins. However, those who cover up sin and decieve are sinning as well. By your fruits you will know them.
