[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]my child's catholic ccd teacher is running for public office with aspects of her platform being directly opposite of catholic belief.

My immediate thought was to pull my child from the class and switch to a different teacher. However I don’t know if this is the correct thing to do or if it will make a difference.
On one hand, I do not want a person with these views teaching my child religious education, especially during the year they will make first communion. On the other hand, I know nothing about the other teacher; this teacher could also share these views (and if they both do, then what?). Also, I would not expect these topics to come up in second grade necessarily.

here could be other people in the religious education department at my church that share these views. These days it seems somewhat permissible for people to call themselves Catholic and support things that are explicitly against catholic teaching. This person has been a teacher and active in local government for years, so I think it’s likely that her views are known by those in charge.

All of my local parishes have been merged, so I don’t have the option to go elsewhere if this is a pervasive issue in my parish.

I don’t know how to handle this. I think at minimum I will speak with the director of religious Ed, but I’m not sure if I should ask to move classes (if it will even make a difference) and what to do if they say this a permissible position for a CCD teacher to hold.

I would appreciate some perspective as I figure out how to navigate this discussion and situation. Thank you.[/quote]
Please provide the candidate’s name so those of us who wish to support her courageous candidacy can do so.  TIA![/quote]
