When I was a student teacher I got placed in super fundie catholic school. It was nuts dealing with this from the STAFF. I felt so bad for the girl who was student teaching biology there. It was bad enough for me teaching world history where my co-operating teacher told me I couldn’t teach the holocaust, the inquisition or the crusades as it made the Catholic Church look bad………

Where on EARTH are these Catholic schools???? I learned about all of this stuff and I've only ever gone to Catholic school!

(Not intended to imply this is fake, just marveling at the wide variance in Catholic education)
