Wow. It’s worse than I thought.



Uh, no


Because when an Opus Dei affiliated Catholic school claims to want to "reinvent" the way science is taught to kids, it's clearly because they want to double down on scientific rigor and objective analysis.


Yeah, science at The Heights relies on antiquated superstitions like “biological sex” instead of “gender assigned at birth”.

What’s worse, The Heights teaches that math involves correct (and incorrect) answers—they don’t even believe that “math is racist”!

One shudders at the thought of White, Christian, hetero, cis-gendered males memorizing classic poetry and engaging in sovereign learning instead of flogging themselves for their racial guilt and waving rainbow flags.

Oh, the humanity!


I personally was thinking more about the rejection of Darwinian evolution, teaching of creationism and intelligent design, lessons that man and dinosaurs coexisted, etc. But kudos to you for a spot-on recitation of MAGA talking points!


9th grade biology teaches "Evolution/Intelligent Design," whatever that means.

Also, "the defense of the culture of life" - cool code words!

I don’t understand your point on this. They have a catholic chapel on school grounds. They follow catholic traditions. You’re being pedantic.


Is the Heights being pedantic for stating that it is not canonically (according to Canon law) Catholic on its website? It's in the last paragraph. https://heights.edu/student-life/faith/


No. You are being pedantic for insisting that this is in any way meaningful to families looking for a catholic education for their kids. For that purpose, the Heights is a catholic school.


Let's just stop using "pedantic" as an insult. I am not the PP who accused the Heights of not being Catholic in the first place. I was just trying to clarify. You are right that students will learn about Catholicism at the Heights and most importantly, see it lived. The annoying PP who accused the Heights of not being Catholic was right that canonically, it is not Catholic, as the Heights admits on its own website. This is a BOTH/AND situation. You are both right.

The only practical consequence that I can think of is that when the Pope comes to visit the Archdiocese, ADW hands out a lot of tickets to officially affiliated schools. I think that this might have been an issue during the last papal visit and Heights parents were very disappointed that their kids were left out of the school ticket distribution. Any Catholic, of course, could enter the lottery for tickets through their parishes and many Heights teachers and students attended this way. Of course, the Opus Dei centers usually get an allotment of papal tickets as well.



Heights got tickets to the popes visit. The famous image of “man kissing the pope” that was on front of all teachers was a teacher there, Jeff Thompson who is married to Dominique Dawes!

Would they ever read a poem by Toni Morrison? or is it all "classic" white, male authors?


For real. Why not recite Toni Morrison? Racists. They should also recite porno scenes to be more welcoming of our LGBTQ community. My child’s school ought to recite Karl Marx

Wow, the Heights really is racist.

Don't have to do either since this Catholic family would never send a kid to the Heights.

As far as all male TEAHERS, not Faculty goes-- im shoked to see how people see this to be weird.

I recently graduated High School and have friends from all these local schools. From the time we were in middle school to now, they make comments about female teachers at their schools which are absolety vile. Ranting bout having intercourse with married women and making comments on their physical appearance is filthy.

Instead, by having an all male faculty they grow into respecting women by seeing how their teachers treat their wives.


Ah, yes, the "treat women well, so long as they're the 'chosen-by-catholic-men' women" model.

Always amazes when Catholics trot out the groomer and pedophile card. Glass houses and all that.

And still, The Heights prefers to have their students read material written by "White, Christian, hetero, cis-gendered males " rather than a POC Catholic woman.

You have no idea what they read and are just making stereotypical assumptions. They have a heavy classics focus but read modern literature too.
