[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][/quote][b] STJ has a LGBT alliance, dress code/hair can be opted out if you are non-binary.[/b] Most kids are LGBT friendly, the few that are not are outliers.[/quote]

FYI -- I checked the Open House materials that I received on Sunday -- there is no mention of an LGBT alliance.  I also have not read anything under the uniform guidelines that says the dress code/hair can be opted out if you are non-binary.

You would think if this was true that it would be posted somewhere, so I am not sure that PP is providing accurate information.[/quote]

PP is posting accurate information.  Not every club is listed on the website or in printed materials.  In addition the girls are now allowed to wear pants (happened a year or two ago) which has made it easier for non-binary students to decide what they would like to wear.  There continues to be non-binary and trans children at SJC who are welcomed and part of the school community.

As another PP said the mission of St. John Baptist de LaSalle was to make education accessible to all children.  That is the Lasallian mission still today and something that SJC prides itself on.[/quote]

Wow. I think this is amazingly wonderful. People do need to know most of the school is pretty conservative. A lot of kids go to the March for Life, for example, and the school publicizes it. [/quote]

Just hit me. Wow, SJC is a diverse place in all regards, and there is respect and civility for all - whether you are a trans kid or whether you are marching in the Right to Life March. Pacifists or JROTC / Cadet Corps members. Gives me more hope for our future![/quote]
