[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^Calm down.  The pps were saying that "openly advocating" for choice and gay marriage might not go over well.  My DD learned to navigate how to answer questions on the religion test (the same way you do on most any test): write the best answer the way the teacher taught and what s/he wants to read.  But she didn't start an after school club for Choice.  [/quote]

[b]So basically she has to act one way in school to pass tests but because she isn't like the teachers that teach her, has a different belief outside of school. [/b] Sounds like a great school and not confusing to kids at all.   :roll: [/quote]

No different than a religious kid in a public school.[/quote]

Give an example...[/quote]

My son was campaigning at the 2008 election for the Republican party. It was just for the fun of it (he was in elementary) because nobody else wanted to do it. His BFF chose the libertarian candidate. They actually did not care who won like a normal elementary school kids but decided it did not make sense for nobody to be the Republican or Libertarian candidate.

Kids were really mean about his campaign like how dare he "fill in the blank". My son had to laugh, like he cared. Nobody even knew what a Libertarian was so his BFF got less attacks.

It was fun. We are super liberal Catholics and I like my kids to understand both sides of the coin.[/quote]

There is absolutely nothing religious about this example. Actually it is a really stupid example of anything.  [b]Still waiting how it is hard for a Catholic to go to public school[/b]?[/quote]

It was very hard for my younger brother and cousins who attended public schools in this area a decade ago. Anti-Catholic jokes were considered socially acceptable. My older daughter attended public school here until 3 years ago and she reported at lot of anti-Catholic bigotry in secondary school. Teachers were often the source of factually wrong and prejudicial statements about Catholic beliefs and practices. I once had to email a principal because a teacher included the statement "Catholics worshiped the Virgin Mary." on a worksheet about Irish immigration to the U.S. I told the teacher this was wrong and inflammatory. She refused to change it, arguing it was her understanding. The principal told her to change it after I threatened to go above his head.[/quote]
