My kid's 3rd grade teacher (not at SR) showed the class pictures of her wedding with her husband, and the kids all thought it was adorable. Our middle school has done shows like Beauty & the Beast, Adams Family, High School Musical, Shakespeare plays, all about straight relationships. When you're in high school, there's a huge emphasis on homecoming, prom, etc.

We're a two-mom family and I don't have a problem with any of this (minus the toddler shirts, that one's weird). But it's pretty wild to say we "promote" homosexuality by existing or maybe having a rainbow flag when our entire culture is set up to celebrate straight people.

It's only the fragile people who are not confident in themselves or their families that have issues with a rainbow flag in a religious school. They think just because they pay $45k for an independent sacred heart school, they can complain about stuff like this...even if current Catholic teaching is becoming more open to same sex relationships. Do you not believe Jesus loved EVERYBODY? That is Catholic teaching..

I wrote "THIS" because I believe that love is love no matter what and I support the LBGTQ+ community. I'm sorry if it didn't come across that way or I misunderstood the message that I replied to. I'll work towards the future to better my reading comprehension.

DP but I think the person who responded to your “this” was agreeing with you, and the “do you not believe…” was a generic “you” aimed at the fragile people who object to rainbow flags.

Heard this snafu at Stone Ridge is getting out of hand. Dean of students decided to “not attend school due to hurt feelings”…is that part of the job description?

Is SR a strict school? And if so, in what aspects are they strict in? (Incoming parent for Upper School).

Not in US at all. Each division is completely different

You are exaggerating. Nobody is celebrating heterosexual pairings lol. My daughter went to the prom without a date. She was fine. So were those who had dates and those who chose not to attend. Not sure why you consider this a celebration of heterosexuality. If you want the parades and flags, go to public school.

Oh my... What is happening in the US?

If you are the PP saying your daughter is the devout, trendsetter but also didn't have a date to prom...I may rethink the trend you are helping lay...

Was this a mean girls issue that impacted a Dean’s decision to come to work? That doesn’t seem like strong leadership or modeling for the girls. More info?

Fake news. There is no systemic issue at SR. All of these questions about gradations/strictness/US vs MS are bot-generated to rile people up. There is no issue with the head of US (or any of the schools). If you want info about the school, call another parent, or call a class rep, or call one of the families that are assigned to assist new incoming families. if you rely on a message board for your info, you get what you pay for.
