The only reason the Catholic schools exist in Dayton Ohio is that most of the parents send their kids there is that they don't want their children to go to school with black kids. Even blacks who send their kids to "Catholic Schools" for the same reason.Bill Hooghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02336706603556277581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774317.post-17943354738188450462009-01-18T19:02:00.000-06:002009-01-18T19:02:00.000-06:00I agree with you except when you say that Catholic...I agree with you except when you say that Catholic schools were free in 1965. I graduated from an all girls Catholic school (grades 1 - 12)in 1963, and my brother graduated from an all boys Catholic school (1 - 12) in 1969, and neither of these schools was free. One of them was a parochial school and the other was a private school. However, once the nuns stopped being nuns who were loyal to their vocations and started being social workers wearing secular clothes, the schools began to really suffer. When you have to hire non-Catholics to teach, administer, and be on the school board, the Catholic in Catholic school leaves the room pretty fast. I will say that I received an excellent education well above the average and it was faithful to the Magesterium, but by the time my kids came along in the 70's & 80's, I decided to finally take them out of Catholic school and put them in public school because I figured I could correct bad doctrine espoused by a Protestant at a public school much easier than I could that being taught in a Catholic school religion class. Unless the bishops are serious about schools that call themselves Catholic really teaching the true Catholic doctrine (and that includes universities) then there is no point in having Catholic schools.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05968810669834802481noreply@blogger.com
