[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No mention of the fact that one of these schools is a Catholic school and that the great majority of students and teachers are Catholic?

I suspect that non-Catholics have a very sketchy understanding of just how different Catholic culture is from their own. It's not just the 45 minutes spent at Mass. It's history and ethnicity and culture and all sorts of things that permeate one's outlook. [/quote]

NCS has cathedral, which is not much different than mass.  And SR is inclusive to all girls just like NCS.  30% are not Catholic.  And I think most kids today are growing up with laxed religious views anyway.    Most girls today in this area support LGBT, abortion, woman's rights, sex before marriage, birth control, marriage outside of their own religion, masterbation, etc...  All things Catholics are supposed to be against.

The only completely secular all-girls school that I know of is Holton.  The rest have some form of religion attached to them.  [/quote]

I'm not religious myself, but I think there are plenty of aspects of religion that go beyond specific hot-button political issues like those listed above.  I don't recall any church services I've been to (although they do probably exist) that have addressed the evils of masturbation or birth control.  Those are church doctrinal issues that tend not to come up in the sermons one might encounter in a weekly service.[/quote]

Only the most conservative schools (I can name a few around here) talk about the evils of birth control and masturbation. Even Holy Child in the 80's went over both those topics in a positive light (as in these are birth control methods you might use and yes the teacher does X, etc). 
SR is not conservative that way. There's definitely a free exchange of many  ideas as well.
