[quote=Anonymous]Once upon a time I would have said that it’s fine.  My kids used to go to a Catholic school that welcomed children of different faiths.  They switched schools this year to a school started by a bunch of homeschoolers and missionaries.  I switched my kids because I liked the idea of a classical education, and I liked that my kids could skip a couple of grades in math if they tested into a higher class (something no other school was offering until 6th grade).

Anyway, everyone at the school is Catholic, and it’s been really nice for them to have prayer and mass and study of the virtues and of the saints as part of their daily curriculum.  The kids elected to collect money and toiletries for the homeless in lieu of class parties this year.  They talk about their place in the history of the world and where they fit into God’s plan.  It’s really wonderful, and I didn’t realize what we were missing.  If you aren’t willing to embrace Catholic teachings, then don’t send your children to Catholic school.  There is no way to include everyone, so what ends up happening is the message gets watered down to almost nothing.  [/quote]
