Commenter makes a point about Catholic schools and where their curriculum focus is, you turn that into an indictment of the church. Second commenter again focuses on schools, you again indict the church.

Everybody gets it, the Catholic Church had a scandal. It was awful and destructive to many folks and the church deserves the blame and fault for the coverup. However, that scandal doesn’t seem to have anything to do with a conversation about curriculum choices at a Catholic school. Your trying to derail a conversation because of your biases.

Not at all. Catholic schools are not even remotely independent of the church despite what you seem to think, and therefore share the same systemic problems.

Never said they were independent, I said the conversation was about curriculum and not church scandals.

Additionally, although I don’t have the statistics, it would not surprise me one bit if pound for pound, Catholic schools were indeed safer school options for the students than a public schools despite the scandals in the Catholic Church.

The commenter went beyond curriculum with this part of their comment (which has since been edited to remove the word “woke”, I might add):

> All of the politics and social justice, whatever you want to call is not part of the curriculum. I feel bad for people whose kids are forced into this nonsense.

[kcplate]

I don’t read it thst way at all, and frankly with woke or not it seems to be a valid point in the discussion which centers around that very concept of the administrators and educators possibly placing their thumb on the scale.

And I still don’t see how that is an entrance ramp to trying to shutdown the point they were making by laying some “invalid due to guilt by association”point.

Just my opinion.

[salad-fan]

You not only misread what they wrote, you misread what I wrote.

I wasn’t saying the original commenter was “guilty by association”, I was pushing back on their “anti-wokenes” nonsense and pointing out that their choice of schooling isn’t without serious issues of its own.

Is that what caused you to ignore facts and logic while you increasingly get more emotional?

You were hurt when the original commenter said those school have less wokeness. You strongly believe in social justice and concern yourself woke.

You don't defend your social wokeness by putting someone else down. If social wokeness is all you think it is then let it standup on its own merits and present discussion around why it is better than less wokeness or no wokeness at all.

This is a conversation about one topic that you decided needed to be used a prop to push another idea. You are not living up to the wokeness ideals you seek to defend by doing this. Perhaps a tiktok video where you dance around a painting of the word wokeness would further your point more than putting down another group.
