Many Catholic Schools are focused on a quality affordable private education and not dogma.  My niece attends one because the public schools in her neighborhood are more like kiddie prisons.  My brother was amazed at the relative amounts of applied common sense between the schools.  My niece and a lot of the other kids from her school also attend the Jewish day care next door after school.  It's no big whoop.

What an awful article. Fearmongering and distortions.
