Not sure what ADW stands for, but you might want to check out SR's DEI webpage to get a better understanding of what the school is trying to do. Many area schools are incorporating DEI initiatives into their curriculum and/or school focus. It's not just SR.

Which schools don't? They should lead with that in their marketing. If my child was subjected to this I would have a suit filed by COB.

I'm not even sure what this is supposed to mean. And you'd likely lose your lawsuit.

Winning doesn't matter. The press around the case does.

Well, it was already highlighted by Laura Ingrham last Friday so its gotten media coverage.

So what would the lawsuit exactly have said? You betray your ignorance for even suggesting it.

This sounds almost cult like brainwashing. Are the nums converting to scientology or something. Yikes. People actually pay for this?

There are no nuns at SR, and there haven't been for a long time.

The Religious of the Sacred Heart have seen vocations decimated in the US since their wholehearted embrace of progressive ideals. So there aren't even any nuns available even if they wanted to have them staff the school.

The nuns that are wheeled out from time to time at school events are all over 70. There's nothing about the order that can possibly seem relevant to the girls.

Vocations in all orders are way down - its not just the Religious of the Scared Heart. And what a nice image of them "wheeling" them out. Several nuns form the order have participated in school events wth students and parents - miraculously without a wheelchair!

Not so.

The Sisters of Life, the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia, the Carmelite Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart of Los Angeles and the Immaculate Heart of Mary Province of the Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration, to name just a few.

However all those orders who abandoned the habit and embraced positions like pro-choice and women priests have all experienced a complete decimation of vocations.

I'm sure it's been decades since aany vocations came out of Stone Ridge.

In 1965 there were over 175,000 nuns in the United States. By 2013, there were just over 55,000, and there are fewer today. There may be some orders that have a sufficient number of vocations, but there is an overall downward trend for vocations for religious sisters.

That statistic doesn't begin to tell the whole story, but that's a different story for another forum.

Tomorrow it's three weeks since Easter, but the Faith SR page still has Lent and Holy Week resources posted on it. Not even a "He Is Risen".

Kinda tells you the priority that the Catholic faith holds in that place.

There are Easter posts on their social media - facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Thank God for that. One might be tempted to think that a fully Catholic expression of life and faith is not on the top of the list of priorities at Stone Ridge. How could I ever possibly think something like that?

How did this school get so bad so fast?

If you talk to some of the teachers who were there 10-20 years ago they will tell you it started with the watering down of the academics, replacing what they describe as an "academic powerhouse" with an institution more focused on ensuring the students have "fun".

This has been going on for a long time.

The more recent ramping up of DEI is largely a reaction to the events of last summer.

The inherent mission of the school has been obscured by a focus on the growth of the bottom line. Those in positions of leadership confuse such growth with the organic growth of a healthy institution, which SR most definitively is not.

Whew! Glad SR can pass the modern day Pharisee test to being Catholic enough.

SR is as Catholic as a matzoh ball at a barmitzvah.....but that's not really news, is it?
