[quote=Anonymous]I suspect there is some sock puppeting going on here.  It's ridiculous to say that someone who privately disagrees with some Church social teachings would feel "uncomfortable" at all Catholic schools.  The Kennedys sent kids to Stone Ridge and Georgetown Prep.  Cokie Roberts went to Stone Ridge.  Paul Begala sent his kid to Gonzaga.  Martin O'Malley went to Gonzaga.  Joe Biden sent his kids to Catholic schools in Delaware.  At the post-secondary level, Bill Clinton went to Georgetown, Terry McAuliffe went to CUA, and Nancy Pelosi went to DC's Trinity University.

These are folks who strongly, and publicly, disagree with Church social teachings and they have been welcomed, even celebrated, by their alma maters.  Someone who privately agrees with them is not going to be seen as a pariah.  The fact is that at most Catholic high schools, as in most high schools of any sort, not a lot of time is spent debating these hot button issues, and even less time is spent worrying about who is a "real" Catholic and who is going to hell.  (Yes, there are schools that are exceptions: The Heights and Oakcrest come to mind.)

If you work for Planned Parenthood or are in a same-sex relationship yourself, you would probably want to think twice about choosing a Catholic school.  But it's preposterous to suggest that anyone with an Obama bumper sticker is going to be ridden off campus on a rail.[/quote]
