In the past we’ve heard stories of Catholic schools refusing to admit or expelling the child of a woman in a lesbian relationship, why shouldn’t the High School have expelled McCaskill’s daughter for her position on abortion?
Now does that sound like something that Christ would have done??? Christ would have sat and ate with the sinners and you want to punish someone's kid for her parents beliefs.
Huh?
Can’t say I’ve heard that one. Source?
I don’t think Catholic schools should take that approach. I think as long as the child is behaving and their parents are not disruptive, the child should be allowed to stay. However, the school should be unapologetic in expressing The Church’s teachings and if the student is upset by that, he or she should take it up with the parents. At my kids’ Catholic school, the students are required to bring a Church bulletin every week as their “receipt” for attending Mass. If the kids whose parents don’t take them to Mass are upset about not having their “receipt”, perhaps they can motivate their parents.
