Nope. Catholic schools are funded by tuition and donations. BTW, a CATHOLIC school is not going to allow gay/bisexual interaction. Deal with it.
I don't know if the girl is gay, nor do I give a hoot, but how on earth is a prom defined as a 'sexual activity'??
This superintendent is obviously an idiot. Maybe they wouldn't have so many problems if they'd wake up and realize that they're in the 21st century.
If they're defining prom as a 'sexual activity', then the problems are in the school's philosophy.
It's a rule and parents are aware of the rules. There is a student handbook explaining these things as well as the fact that it is understood what the Church's stance is on gay relationships. Not even close to political dude. Being gay does not exclude her from the school but committing the act is not affirmed by the Church.
I'm not saying the school is "right", but let's face it... It's a "private", "Catholic" school... Someone found out she was gay, they said, you can't have a girl as a date.
I don't agree with it, but you know what... It's not my school. It's not my rules.
I wouldn't out my kid in a school like that because I don't believe in those ideas... The reality is that to even mention this is silly.
The "private" part in the words privately funded means it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, it's what the people who are sending their kids to the school (and since it's catholic, we know how they think) think.
