You're going to uproot your kid just for the sole LGBT reason?

Are you Catholic? If not, your kid might struggle to adjust to weekly Mass, religious edu, prayers, and such. Are you ok with that? Sometimes those are things non Catholics forgot about when enrolling in parochial school.[/quote]

My family isn’t Catholic and our children attend a Catholic school. They don’t have a problem with weekly Mass or prayers in class. That is definitely part of the school week, but academics take up the bulk of the time. In middle school, which is what the OP is looking at, religion is a class. Students spend 30 minutes a day in that class, but I’ve noticed it isn’t exclusively about Bible study. For example, students learned how to appropriately select and site sources as they wrote a paper about a Catholic historical figure. (In contrast, my kid spent 80 minutes on Math a day, 80 on Language Arts, 45-60 in Science (depending on the day), and 40 in Social Studies.) My kids have never reported feeling uncomfortable because they’re non-Catholic.[/quote]
