Pathetic indoctrinated and brainwashed people making assumptions on something for which they have no fucking idea.

We are past the point of no return. We will never coexist with our fellow Americans. I see certain civil war.

Side story: just before I entered junior high I had read Robert Heinlein’s “Have Spacesuit, Will Travel” so when pondering optional classes I asked about learning Latin, because clearly that proved to be a useful language to know when traveling in space. I recall a teacher telling me they were thrilled I picked Latin (a proper selection for any future Priest I presume) and she seemed happy on my choice, but alas they didn’t offer it. I had to settle for German.
Oddly, my mother did not seem disappointed that most of us kids grew up to be other than Catholics.

Our catholic parents had seven children and sent us to a catholic school. Dad was a carpenter and he died of lung cancer when the oldest of us had just entered college. The catholic school must have given my mother some tuition break, because I was told years later we were close to being split up because the money just wasn’t there to support us. We also got financial help from a not-rich uncle. We weren’t privileged by any means. And I walked to school and back a few times with black boy a little younger than me. Clearly his parents thought it important to send him to a private school. The kids were all from middle class families. I doubt that has changed.

Some of us kids left the Church too but we always appreciated the benefit of having gone to the parochial school and the sacrifices our parents made to send us there. My dad was heartbroken when I left the church but told me he liked that I thought for myself because when he was my age, he left Protestantism and converted to Catholicism, so I did the same thing he did in reverse, and he related.
PS love Have Spacesuit Will Travel. I gave a copy to my nephew.

Wow. That is extremely offensive. They are by no means rich white havens. The kids that go there have parents who have valuesTHAT is their privilege (having parents with values).

Wow. That is extremely offensive. They are by no means rich white havens. The kids that go there have parents who have values and want their children raised right and to get a good education and they are often poor, working class through middle class. The diocese WILL give you a tuition break. Parents sacrifice to send their kids there. My sister was a single mother on a low salary and forwent saving for retirement so she could send her kid to Catholic school. My father supported a wife and five children on a teacher’s salary, sent us all to Catholic school while my mother scrimped and saved to make ends meet. The cathedral school had a very high black population, all religious people who cared about their kids education and they were certainly NOT privileged white people. That’s one of the most offensive things I’ve ever seen.This is exactly correct. People sent their kids there because of values, not exclusivity. CCHS accepted non-Catholics, but they had to follow the curriculum, including religious classes. There were people of every economic socio-condition that you would find in such a city. Some of us privately and anonymously “sponsored” some families who couldn’t make ends meet. CCHS took in a number of black children who relocated from New Orleans due to hurricane Katrina.
There were dozens of private (Christian as well as secular) schools in Charlotte that, at that time, charged something around $14,000+ starting in K or 1st grade. At Charlotte Catholic the tuition was around $8,000.
But that’s not the point. The point is the level of despicable brainwashing and indoctrination for these public school kids will lead to more segregation, class warfare, and ultimately violence. These public school teachers are fomenting a race and class war.
