167 Year Old California Catholic School Removes Statues of Mary and Jesus to be More Inclusive

Via Carl


Removal of a number of statues and other smaller Catholic icons from the campus of San Domenico School in San Anselmo has raised concerns among some parents.

In an email to the school’s board of directors, Dominican Sisters of San Rafael and the head of school, Shannon Fitzpatrick objected to the removal of the statues and other steps the school has taken in an effort to make the school more inclusive.

“Articulating an inclusive foundation appears to mean letting go of San Domenico’s 167-year tradition as a Dominican Catholic school and being both afraid and ashamed to celebrate one’s heritage and beliefs,” wrote Fitzpatrick, whose 8-year-old son attends the school.

  2. I wouldn't mind going to a Catholic or whatever school, provided they didn't try to convert me. Secular schools suck.

    I wouldn't like a Muslim school, admittedly.

    1. I checked out a Catholic school down here for Dixie years ago, but decided to home-school instead.
