"News", Weakland, and Morals

Since when is it "news" that a Catholic school actually enforces contract language requiring its Catholic faculty to live according to Catholic moral standards?

Last time around, Jeffy Wagner (the 'law-and-order' fake) assailed Xavier HS for doing exactly what their contract SAID they would do. I'm not bothering to listen to Jeffy this time around...

Anchors at two Milwaukee TV stations (I didn't watch 12 or 58) reported on it--with the Channel 6 9P anchor barely repressing his perma-smirk.

620TMJ is STILL running the story, now a day old, and in a market 90 miles from Appleton.

Collectively, the only excuse they have for this "news" judgment is the spectacular failure of Rembert Weakland (locally), and a lot of OTHER Catholic Bishops, (nationally) to hold the line since about 1965.

But since the Obama administration has made it clear that contracts really aren't worth the paper they're written on, that's another (albeit smaller) angle.

What's more depressing is that, at this supposed Catholic school, the student body is protesting to have the teacher reinstated.
