I attended 12 years of Catholic Schooling. We had some other Christian kids and some Jewish kids as well. They attended Mass each week with us. They didn’t participate in the Sacraments but they attended Mass. The schools should require this participation as part of a signed contract by both the parents/and students IMHO.

Same here - we had Hindu and Buddhist kids in my class.

My kids go/went to Catholic school, and while in general I believe in a voucher-type system, this type of thing makes me wary of it.

I too attended 12 years of Catholic school ... BUT ... it was privately funded. Once a school accepts public funding, it places itself at the mercy of the government.
