What do they do to the non-Catholic pupils?

In our school, the non-Catholic and non-regularly attending (Mass) families pay extra tuition every month. (a substantial amount, imo)

Expelling the kids is going too far, I think.

Huh??? You've got it 360 degrees reversed (to use a dummocrat phrase)...The classes are for Catholic children who do NOT go to Catholic day schools. These are probably similar to "Hebrew School," where kids go for religious education a few nights a week, and on Sundays, for kids who don't go to a Jewish day school.

Except, of course, that there's a strong Jewish tradition -- taken seriously, AFAIK -- that no Jewish child should be deprived of a Jewish education for lack of ability to pay. (I don't recall any "investigation" into how assiduously the parents practice.)
