[quote=Anonymous]I'll also add - the Catholic school system get established in the 1800's at a time when Catholics were blatently discriminated against in schools, and most public schools included Protestant texts and King James Bible reading in their core curriculum. As more Catholic immigrants arrived, Catholic schools adapted themselves to the needs of their diverse students quicker than public schools did. Fast forward to today. The conditions that led to the creation and growth of Catholic schools simply do not exist anymore. Public school children do not read from the Bible as a core textbook, and Catholics as a group are not feared or discriminated against. It goes to figure that Catholic schools would either find a new "niche" or close -- as is happening now. Charter schools aren't directly leading to Catholic schools closing -- they are just another factor in a larger trend away from Catholic schools that has been going on for the past 30 years. [/quote]
