Parents sue Catholic school that's gone 'woke' to Return their Donation of $1.35 million

 Anthony and Barbara Scarpo and the Academy of the Holy Names in Tampa, Florida.

A couple who pledged $1.35 million to a Catholic school in Tampa are suing to have the school return their donation and tuition over the school's extremely woke culture.

Anthony and Barbara Scarpo – who were named chairs of Academy of the Holy Names' fundraising campaign – pledged their gift at a 2017 fundraising gala to fund the school's master plan and scholarships for disadvantaged students. But they recently filed a 12-count, 45-page lawsuit demanding that their pledge be rescinded and the tuition for their two daughters be returned. The suit alleges fraud and a lack of fidelity to Catholic teaching.

"The school, they charge, has 'lost its way' by distancing itself from mainstream Catholicism and embracing a divisive 'woke culture' where priority is given to 'gender identity, human sexuality and pregnancy termination among other hot-button issues,'" the Tampa Bay Times reported.

  1. Good for them.
    My friend recently sent her almost-13 year old daughter to a Christian Church Camp for a week. Out of the 12 girls assigned to her daughter's cabin, 2 identified as Lesbians and 2 with Gender Dysphoria. Making an assumption that your child is protected by any Protestant or Catholic church activity is woefully misguided. Due Diligence is required and the willingness to follow through.
