[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My wife went to Catholic and Jesuit schools in the 1970's and 80s.

Every school she attended, and the others they interacted with for sports and theater, had athiests, Jews, Muslims, and even some dreaded Protestants. They were welcomed and very much a part of the community.

I know tolerance, community, and human decency have faded since my childhood, but I do believe many Catholic schools still aspire to those values.[/quote]

I used to think this was true not anymore.

My whole town where I grew up was Irish or Italian Catholic.  We were one of four Jewish families. Catholic elementary was right next to public school. Kids go back and forth yearly very common. The priests knew my name. [b]I thought these people were my friends and family[/b]. NOPE antisemite, racists who support the Alt-Right. Using Trump trains and boat parades, oh no. I am disgusted by their horrific behavior. No masks, no social distancing no caring for others. Vaccines are worse than injecting themselves with horse and cow meds?

Fast forward to my moving to the DMV as an adult. One of my daughters played on a soccer team from age 11-18 with almost all Catholic families. [b] I knew there were some that were not happy a Jew was on the team, [/b]but after Trump, I found that even the ones we thought were our friends were not. Don the Con can do no wrong in their eyes. It's ok to grift and scam and lie????? These are Catholic school parents!

What happened, exactly, to make you say these things?

My mistake won't make it again.

Sending your kid to Catholic school for Catholic values, LOL really? Given those Trump trains and boat parades with those good practicing people NAH...

Catholics in SD are going to be in for a rude awakening when Public school prayer in school is a Muslim prayer..... And honestly, it should be or maybe Buddest.... [/quote][/quote]

I'm sorry you encountered Trump supporters who also happened to be Catholic. Most aren't. You would be most welcome in our school; they are the ones who would feel out of place.[/quote]
