[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HTS parent (that did not attend the dance) here.  Throughout the pandemic the school has taken a sensible approach trying to balance health concerns with Covid and the social and emotional needs of the children at the school, for which I am deeply grateful.  The vast majority of students and teachers at the school are vaccinated or have already had covid, so I don't think this is going to create much of a disruption, and even if it did I think it is worth it to give the children the option of doing normal social things.  It's very easy to point to one event and say that we shouldn't have taken the risk, but the risks exist for every gathering and we can't keep restricting children (especially when adults feel free to attend parties and gather in restaurants and go to a million other social events that could expose them to covid).  Should we really be saying no dances, no assemblies, no big birthday parties, no going to the movies, etc. etc.?  For how long?  [/quote]

I am Catholic and know many conservative Catholics who refused to be vaxxed because of a stem cell story constantly played on Fox News. So, do not assume HTS folks have been vaxxed. Kids will survive w/o some dumb father-daughter dance. They may not survive their conservative parents' views.[/quote]

Well that's just silly. :roll:  The pope said Catholics have a moral obligation to get vaccinated, and last time I checked he outranks Fox News in the Catholic hierarchy.  [/quote]

Are you Catholic? A lot of Catholics don’t like the current Pope because of some of his more liberal views…[/quote]

I didn't think following the Pope's guidance was optional and/or dependent on whether you agreed with him. That doesn't mean that people don't ignore him in practice, but at least in theory it isn't really a matter of liking/disliking or agreeing/disagreeing.[/quote]

You must not be Catholic.

Most don't practice everything the Church teaches.[/quote]
