Catholic schools are known for educating students with Down and other IDs. [/quote]

Catholic schools were accepting and educating children with Down Syndrome and other similar disabilities long, long before the public schools were.

My aunt with Down Syndrome was educated in Catholic school in the 1950s. The public schools would not accept her and advised her parents to institutionalize her. Kids who were institutionalized in those days often died. My aunt instead eventually was able to live semi-independently because of the education she got and she lived a long and happy life.

I am Catholic + have a DS niece. Catholic Schools had better teach DS kids since they are so against abortion.
