[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The social conservatism at schools like St. Bernadettes directly contributes to the good behavior of the students and allows the school to do more with less. Community buy in to the culture is precisely why it delivers a better product at lower per student cost. If that bothers you, just pay for a pricier private or stay in public schools. If you choose to participate in the Catholic model, please give it the respect it has earned in attracting you. [/quote] This is BS. So if you had lgbt students or parents the behavior would go downhill? [/quote] In your hypothetical, do the student and parents in question buy into and participate in the culture or are they being activists complaining about everything and trying to water down the religious component, strict rules on hair and dress, de-emphasis on current political issues and focus on eternal truths? Kids in K-8 shouldn’t really be engaging with sexual topics other than basic birds and bees biologies so labels aren’t necessary at that age and thus there is no need for any controversy. Unless of course people who don’t buy in to the culture and mission of Catholic schools attend anyways because they want to escape public school but not pay up for fancy school and then, once admitted, try to undermine the religious teachings that are the bedrock of, and entire purpose for, the whole enterprise. I’m not saying people aren’t welcome. I’m just saying I would personally never enroll my kids in a madrassa and then complain that the food is halal, so please don’t do that to me either.[/quote] 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻[/quote]
