In reply to the discussion: Catholic School Threatens to Expel Student Over Sticker [View all]tymorial
(3,433 posts)I went to a Catholic High School. I did take religion class because I was required but the rest of the classes were the standard subjects taught everywhere else. The religion class certainly taught Catholic dogma but I was also taught evolution in science just like the high school.
The school was safer and had better facilities than the public high school. This is still the case. I had a public education until high school. Junior High was a nightmare.... kids fighting, guns in the school, drug deals. That never once happened in high school.
I never agreed with the church's opinion on many matters of morality; homosexuality, contraception, abortion etc but I wasn't going to seek to cause an issue by protesting the point. I expect their reaction would have been the same. I am not a practicing Catholic anymore but I still respect that school and am grateful for the education I recieved. My daughter will have the opportunity to go there if she wishes. If not we will find another because the public school is a pit. I know that comment will offend some here but facts are just that
